pusherman Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 And monster got to try it on for size. So far plans for colours are swirling around. I fancy new chrome and clear cote the rust. But ive been advised that kids dont want rusty bikes. So the new plan is fresh chrome, pearl white with pink flake detailing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted June 27, 2015 Author Share Posted June 27, 2015 Have been searching online to find more info on it. The head sticker says cyclops. By triang pedigree. And the only trike similar is this chap. I think its more likely 70's tho. As the rest of the 50's ones are totaly different. Also grandad got involved and bought a cyclops flyer to tow behind it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 Shit yes! Trailer! I'm glad that it's getting a proper restore for use and not just a wall ornament anymore. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted June 28, 2015 Author Share Posted June 28, 2015 Grandad picked up the trailer today and its a similar orangey red that the trike was/is. Thats thrown a spanner in the works. Maybe original colour scheme. I really want to flake something tho. Original burnt orange and gold flake? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pusherman Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 Pictureless post Trike has been striped, revealed nasty pitting on the forks. And seat is crumbly. Forks have been quoted for chroming and they want 400 as the pitting needs to be dealt to first. Triedsaying fuckit just dip the bastards butthey have pride in their work and want to clean it all up. So painted forks it it. No chrome for this kids whip. Dad has put a coat of primer on to seal itall, and has been itching to use a jar of ed roths white flake. So its getting white flake with pink flake detail/scallops Yeah and pink wheels. And tassles and a leathery seat. Either i will dust of the oldmachine and sew it up or i will giveour man at midnight upolstery (soz name slips memory) the task of sewing up a sweet pink seat with a white EVIE stitched into it. Light will be ordered from ali express, Fuck this thing is going to a ghastly mix of white and pink. Shel love it 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 I might be able to re make the bars for you dude. Bring them into work and I'll have a looksee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathcollector Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 HPC coatings or similar have a reasonably nice silver for headers that is not too unlike chrome. Could be worth a look ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Could probably remake them from stainless. Bets the whole lot is just press fit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 New bars have been made. Just gotta remove the old ones from the " triple trees" and install new. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Willdat? Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Made them a bit taller as per request also. Â Is that so you can still ride it...? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 10/10 Should laser cut some new triple tree flanges too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EURON8 Posted July 18, 2015 Share Posted July 18, 2015 Is that so you can still ride it...? I have ridden it in its rustic-pre stripped down stage a few times. Getting off the line isn't easy but maintaining a constant and hilarious trottle round is doable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
