Mock up of seat on trike |
Hi
Over the last few days, I have been making a seat for my
new fast trike and I'm almost finished. I haven't really worked out the steering arrangement yet, but I want to get a low, aerodynamic seat in place before the steering is set up.
So this shows the seat setup, I am using plywood to mount a Performer seat I bought from Alex McNee which had been gathering dust in the shed. It took me 2 goes to get the first 4 strips of ply glued together, but after that its been pretty smooth sailing. In about 2 days, the seat will be done and I can move on to steerer, brakes, gear lever etc. etc.
Its been good having a speedo on my everyday trike. I can only get anywhere near 40 kph on it by going down big hills, and there will be a lot of work to be done on this new trike if I'm to get up to decent speeds.
Regards
Steve Nurse
