Gotta love those reliants, I really like the style you are going for, keep up the good work. Does thunderace still have his reliant trike? Cheers, Cave
Looks like a nce project Dave. Keep up the good work and pics.
Nice work so far Dave!
Are you going to be on the road for summer?
Tin
your axle clamp set up looks good, but you also need to add a bit extra somewhere to make sure the axle cant rotate in the clamps under hard acceleration or braking
It is fun to watch the trike take form! Great work :D
Pretty cool! Can't wait to see it finished. What are you gonna use for a front end?
