I have six trikes in total and this is my third racing one. The solution I came up with for storing them, was removing the ceiling from my bathroom, opening up a space to hoist them into the roof.
So far, I’ve stripped this one down to the steel and it will get a lick of paint next month. I was thinking blue and ivory with a barber pole twist. But apart from a vintage looking paint job, I have little interest into restoring it to vintage condition. I will be using good quality, modern componentry wherever I can. Apart from the forks, axles and differential, every other part has been chucked straight in the metal waste bin. I have a nice pair of 40 hole sprint rims laced, five toed crows foot pattern, into large flange Higgins hubs, waiting to bolt on, along with Middleburn cranks and Nitto Noodle bars and stem. The rest of the build, has not been determined yet.
