In its current form, missing just the Camper Longflap that I hope to
receive next week.

That's awesome! It's the pedal version of the Citroen sitting behind it.

Very nice! You should be attending the All-British Cycling Event here in Minnesota with that fine machine.

Clip ins, no less. You'll look very cool. A "Lone Wolf" for sure...

That's cool! I saw a Raleigh trike the other day; more of a workhorse
than this, with a basket, but much svelter than the general run of
trikes. The cool thing about the bike was that the trike part was a
bolt-on addition to a normal Raleigh two-wheeler! The rear wheel gets
replaced with the two-wheel trike element, bolted to the seatstays and
the rear dropout.

If I see it again, I'll get pictures.

Trike conversions were big in Britain and Trykit still makes them.

(An aside: I don't get the addition to some modern trikes of rear
wheel brakes since a two wheel rear arrangement adds to the issue of
the rear's minimal braking action the issue of uneven braking of the
rear wheels, not to mention the considerable added complexity and
weight. In the Trykit conversion gallery you see at least one modern
conversion with two-wheel rear disk brakes.)

Whoops, the last two links lead to the wrong photo. Go to Conversion
Axles and Gallery.
