From wind-in-my-sails to hole-in-my-hull




Im getting down to the nitty gritty now, the dirt and grime, the reality of the reliant. Until now ive been enjoying the dreaming and the humping and grunting of the rough bits, but now im starting to get down to the details, im seeing things a little differently.

Hughie sent me some photos of a reliant trike for sale on ebay - ooh its lovely. Look at how shiney that diff and axel is - it is an inspiration to all us novice trike builders. So imagine my disapointment, when i finally got down on my knees to have a close look at my own diff.
OMG, look at that corrosion and pitting! theres no way im going to see my face in that.

Maybe its going to have to be a rat-trike afterall
