Some of our more unusual jobs......
 |
A Newton tandem tricycle conversion, but that's not all.... |
This was a job undertaken for one of Dave's customers who wanted a little more stability. As the tandem already had S&S couplings it seemed logical to utilise them to fasten the tricycle conversion on. This was certainly one of the more 'interesting' jobs he has tackled.
 |
 |
 |
The tricycle front end is held on with S&S couplings. This allows the normal front end to be replaced should the customer require it.
3 nuts, 3 cable connectors and off it comes. |

|
A custom turbo training frame designed to save
space and greatly increase stability. Frame & front support £250
or front support only to fit your existing frame £75. Please ring

|
An MTB brake lever converted for twin cable operation. Both brakes can be operated with one hand. This conversion can be carried out for £ 50. Please ring Dave on 01526 343322 or e-mail for further details. |
