Ice cream / candy floss / cargo trike

[classic33]

I used to ride mine 4 miles a day and could get 120 litres of ice cream on, 3 boxes of cones a bucket and all my scoops and cleaning stuff. Not to mention the 6 freezer plates that must have weighed 5 kg each. The more I sold the easier the ride home.

I also ended up having to fit a (sneeze) screen, a perspex cover thing to stop folk sticking there fingers in my ice cream. Why people though it was OK to have a quick taste before they purchased I never worked out, especially by gouging out great lumps with filthy fingers.

Are you going to run it?

Pair of them were pinched.

Only the painting to do now!

Front was painted black yesterday ( Tuesday ) - It only needs reassembly at the weekend even the open tube end caps have been fitted to make it tidy

Sad to hear that.

I would get at least 1 person a month asking lots of 'probing' questions about where I kept mine, what it was worth etc. I always said I was just a helper.

HI Folks ,

I took the bits home today .

This morning I reassembled the trike , fitted all new brake and gear cables with new crimp nipples and fitted a set of 5 1/2 cranks , its all ready now but I forgot my camera phone, so no photos until the weekend .

Measured the front cargo "bay" its approximately 25 inches square between diagonal braces .

After the weekend it will be advertised

regards emma

Why did you fit the tyres facing in opposite directions?

I missed that in a hurry to reassemble it

thanks emma

Thought there may have been a reason for actually doing it. Not having a go at you.

Thanks Classic

I was more concerned on Wednesday to get the wheels and brakes on the "right side " that I missed the most important item of fitting the tyres in the right rotational direction , Not having my phone with me was disconcerting and it had the reassembly photos in the memory .

thanks emma
