An earlier trip to Wecycle was to deliver this Dodson Statesman. I fixed it and swapped out the drop bars. It has nice indexed gears on the down tube. Personally I prefer the Dodson Torana, although the Commodore was even better.

Hi
After quite a while putting up with the front part of my trike being wobbly, I finally got around to fixing it. A few pics are attached. All this was in prep for an OzHpv gathering in Myrtleford where I will be (mildly) touring and visiting a friend over the next few days. I'm getting there by train, not car so it does qualify as touring to some extent.
Will report when I get back, also plan to write the much simpler front end design into the free trike plans here .
Best Wishes
Steve Nurse
