I picked up this nice old Raleigh 3 wheeler (2 wheels in back) with huge basket in between wheels, I had dreams of refinishing this thing to be the best canal bike you have ever seen, but things have changed and I need the storage back and hate to put it out side. I am asking for local pick-up only and $75.00
I can post pic's if anyone is interested.
Regards
VB

Great winter project for someone :hidin:
This is a Antique adult 3-wheeler / Trike
It's around 72 inches long by 28 inches wide.
It needs a seat and brakes for starters. All I did was lube and wd40 all the parts. It has a rear axcel :think: and everything spins around and around like it should. I had plans of complete restore :uhoh:
Just think a fishing freak paint job :lm:
Cooler between the rear wheels (easy) and a couple rod holders!
Sorry for the bad pic, Gets dark early :bshake:

I used to use one of these for a paper route when I was in middle and high school. These bikes are great!

Do kids do peper routes any more? All I ever see are adults in beater trucks delivering the paper.

Peter I wish I had a way to get it to the canal I'd take it. I always loved seeing Skip pedal by on his classic. He leaves his at his house right by the canal so he just pedals down. Too cumbersome to get in and out of the truck. Sorry buddy..

I loved to have it but I am not an adult. Did you loose my jig? How was P- Town?
