The parts have been painted and are drying inside now. The fork dropouts are custom made from 4mm steel and have mounting points for mudguards, derailleur and a front fairing. |

This shows some changes to one of my current trikes, I have simplified the handlebar arrangement by using a one-piece bullhorn handlebar. Its not really wide enough (40cm) as my legs come up in between the handlebars while pedalling. They should be about 44-48cm wide. |

Met my friend George down the road, this has the old handlebar arrangement. |
Hi
For a few weeks I have been gathering parts for a new trike and this post shows a few pictures of the parts plus a few photos taken around town. Within a few days I will receive the frame and seat parts but putting them together will have to fit in around a full master's thesis redraft due in a week or so.
This time I am using a 24" fork for a 24" wheel (shock horror), and adapting the frok came quite easily as there is only one set of brake bosses to braze on and none to take off. I plan to run brake cables up through the threaded part of the fork, and hopefully there will be room at the top of the tyre for this.
Regards
Steve Nurse
