Well the man from the Clarence Street Cyclery rang and said that the parts are finally on their way. They left Fern Tree Gully this morning and should arrive today, or tomorrow at the latest. So here hoping that I can pick up the trike on Saturday. He said that they did some haggling with Greenspeed to get them to ship the parts quickly.
2009-05-08 – Sad to say, but the bits have not arrived. I went into the workshop, had the trike adjusted for me. Because of the design of a trike, if you move the pedals to suit your leg length, you need to change the number of links in the chain to keep it at the right tension. I see this as an anti-theft feature. Only people with approximately my X-seam can ride the bike. I also purchased some add-ons, locks, bottle holders, a spare tube, a pump, a mount to put on the chain wheel stem to mount lights and things. I will have to see if it can mount my handle bar bag. There probably won’t be room with it being so close to the chain wheel. I paid the outstanding amount.
So they will now deliver the trike to me when they get the missing bits.
