The time has come to move my trike on. It's been in bits for a few years and now I've nowhere to store it ... I believe (and i'm open to correction) that it is an early Peter Ross one ... 

A quick description; main frame is square section steel, 20" wheels all round, fibreglass seat with camping mat padding, Shimano 3x8 gears, underseat steering, Sturmey Archer hub brakes on both front wheels (no rear brake). Please also see the pictures below.

It weighs a fair bit but despite this I raced it a few times in BHPC races about 10years ago (with no great success).

Everything works ... OK-ish, I rode it on the road today having pieced it back together, the gear indexing need adjusting and the brakes work OK but are operated by one brake lever for each wheel which makes for interesting stopping ... 

The finish on the frame is Hammerite and not great but it keeps the rust at bay. The seat was repaired with fibreglass matting years ago because it cracked around the mount points and it could do with re-glassing but it works. I remade the rear seat support because it fractured but still have the original, the rest of the frame is fine. 

Basically this needs to go so I'm very open to offers, pretty much anything with a pound sign in front of it will get it! Any questions or if you'd like me to send better quality photos let me know. 

It's in Surbiton in Surrey. Cheers, Rick

Photos don't seem to have appeared possibly because the post is pending approval, possibly because I don't know what I'm doing ... Anyway if you'd like photos let me know. Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,
I’ve just changed your forum group from “moderated” to “BHPC Member” so you should be able to add pictures now. 🙂
