Dirt Disciple
I bought this trike on the understanding that I would restore it , ride it and not separate it and do the ladies late farther proud. I had quite a bit of work as the paintwork looked like it was keyed with a house brick then painted with Levi's no drip gloss . All spokes were loose in fact everything was loose . I decided to swop over the bars to drops and just build it up with anything l had laying, just to see how it handled . With it's low trail front end and large top tube .Truth is it is the best handling trike conversion l have had . After a while I had the frame painted by a mate in 1954 VW Burgundy and a creamy yellow he just mixed up. I just did not have the money for a posh enamel job and l did not want a pristine bike l was afraid to use. I done the lining which looks ok after a lot of panic ING . I originally built it up as a bike ,for a few months but a promise is a promise and it has been run as a trike . Currently is a rolling test bed for a new trike build with a two wheel drive rear disc conversion axel. It just gives me emense pleaser to ride doing the British cycle quest and to look at.
