No idea how hard it is to produce that second photo but it looks as if 1 push and the whole lot would tumble like domino's:biggrin:
 
There used to be one of these (proably still is) Which had the full front fairing as well.

It became famous after "causing" an accident. Rider bimbling along quite happily when a car on the other side of the road leaves the road and crashes into trees.

Driver than claimed that it was the fault of the cyclist for distracting him because his bike was unusual and yellow.

Policerefused to take action despite loud protestations bythe driver in the local press.

Sweet lovely bikes do you still have one?

Not now. Since I bought my Hurricane the KC was not getting used, so I sold it to Kevin at D Tek, so it would go to a good home.
 
Wicked bikes, shame they used such obscure rim sizes though.

I got Kingcycle to build me some forks to accommodate a 406 plus mudguard.
You can just squeeze a 406 in the original forks without a mudguard.
Some folk run a 700c on the back.

Great pictures. Are any other members of the Kingcycle display team on the boards?
We could get ITV interested, if they can do this with celebrities
