More bike & trike stuff on my velo pages.

Straight-on front view. I'll note here that I haven't
$#@&ed! with the bars so far as wrapping is affected, as
I'm sure I'd never be able to wrap as well as this again!

view, note the Lion bell.

The pedals again, because they're so cool.

Brakes (note QR lever), bell, head logo, etc.
Here I must admit that, although I bought new fancy cables I
was too lazy to install
(and a little scared to screw with the fine bar tape
wrapping).
Surely those pokey-unwound cable ends are fit to be tied (or
cable-ended), tho.
By the way, despite it's not a true head badge, this Longstaff
head transfer is a good example of velo-grandeur.

Right rear hub & derailleur.

Nice 'GL'
engraved crown.
Also note Tricycle Association foil transfer between
shifters.

Front view; note original owner's name, Terry Trickett, hand painted on TT - an
option.
If/when I can find somebody with a steady hand and nice script
maybe I'll add my name on the other side.
Also note dust on fork crown etc. - I'd polished the trike all
up for this ride & shoot, but went for a few kms on a
gravel path.

Of note here is the nice fillet brazed (aka bronze welded)
frame work, the combined Sugino/Shimano crank arm QR (see
description), and of course the pedals et al. again.

Patches, the other side. The top ones wind up being
upside-down on this rack.
Note Blatz beer patch - which nicely matches the TA one on the
other side in same colo(u)rs,
and the US Bicentennial patch balancing the Union Jack on the
opposite pocket!
Although I wasn't part of the Revolution, I've always liked the
logo.
That CTC patch needs to wear, fade, & get dirtier before
it'll be readable!

Front hub - Campag something or other (the skewers which I
haven't ID'd are great). Chromed fork ends.

I guess this might be a 'torso view', which sounds
weird.

Brakes - the most common setup on English tricycles is this:
one canti, one side (or centre) pull, to meet legal requirement
of two brakes without the complication of rigging rear
brakes.
Note the cool Dia-Compe 983 eccentric canti (so impressed I
scouted a NOS pair for my new Stanforth Kibo).
And dust. And the slightly creepy and prophylactic Schwalbe
clear presta valve cap...
And how close the room is (I had to file the forward end of the
canto pads to permit clearance to the side pull shoes!) Nikon

View of the rear structure, freewheels, axle area, mech,
& rack. Little bits of oil splash
(I'd cleaned and oiled the chain & axles/freewheel assembly
before the ride).

Right rear hub - note the fancy (1990s NOS) Specialized
crank bolt cap.
The bolt that holds the wheel on is also a crankset bolt, so a
modern hex with a
plastic surround one night be simpler, more practical, even
decent-looking,
but this at least for now seems fancier & shinier!
