Went to look at a Reliant trike today, local, okayish for the price I spose (£900 ono) but has no MOT and didn't really float my boat. Didn't look too bad till I saw the bits of meccano (well almost) holding the driving seat on - one of which was broken/rusted thru. Easily replaceable but what does it say about the rest of the build?
I have the phone no of a local trike builder so I will see if he knows the trike and what he says, but there's one I really fancy in BSH.
I've given up the idea that I'd prefer a bike trike, I shall have whatever is available and in my price range!

I've no idea what they're like but either Neval or Cossack make a bike trike as standard. I've only seen photo's of them but it looks ok to me. I think F 1 motorcycles sells them.

They're great Wilf but I don't have that kind of money!
Purpose built trikes start about £4400 and go up to £6700 and higher - but my riding has always been done on a shoestring. And anyway, if I had something like that I'd have to wash it and stuff!!

I definately think it would suit BG!!
Depends on which Holywell it is. There are Holywells in Flintshire (Wales), Cambridgeshire, Cornwall, Dorset, East Sussex and Fermanagh (Northern Ireland). So it could be quite close or bleeding miles away.

Saw that last night, wanted to ask the seller some questions (bet the party trick's a moooooo btw), E-Bay wanted me to log in, forgot my password, them my pooter locked up - went to bed!
Forgot all about it, thanks for reminding me, I'll phone him tomorrow.
Phoned 3 peeps about trikes tonight - no reply from any of them!
I notice that it has not been registered yet, careful, they are gettin well sticky on the specs of trikes now days, they are takeing on some regulations imposed by the EU i belive. Best ask Womble, i think he knows more about trikes than me.

Thanks RMR, so it hasn't - I'm not going there! I've read and re-read the regulations - they're a nightmare and I doubt if even those who have to implement them understand them!
