Nice looking trike Ransman. I was wondering if you have any pics of the chair attached to your machine?

Actually I do own a trike with a front end that steers properly, but it doesn't have any brakes. It's very environmentally friendly -and I win races with it. Ransman knows what I'm on about; nice to see you on here Steve ;-)

True, it does look cool, but I am not sure I would have survived after doing the 170 mile route I did on mine on Monday up through the Black Mountains and Brecon Beacons. Have a look at the suspension on mine in some of the photos I will be publishing in response to another post.

Whilst there is no way you can "hide" a chair on a trike, I wanted to make it as unobtrusive as possible. I have had comments that, at first glance, they thought my chair was a luggage rack - I can live with that :-)
You can see the frame of the chair mounted on the rear of the trike on the first photo, and the wheels are just visible in the second photo.
Here are a few more. I must get some better ones sometime.
The front footplate sits into the U channel below the numberplate and the main axle bar drops into U channels mounted off the back rest and luggage rack, with a couple of quick release catches engineered to suit.

Some more pictures - including one with me dressed up to cope with the cold weather on the day I collected it. Temperature was just below freezing!
