I Hear Ya..
I hear what you're say Scotrod, and I agree, at least it's not holding me back. The it's a little warmer today, so I am just about to wash the bike, see what else needs doing!Originally Posted by Scotrod
Sorry to hear about the damaged paint!
The only GOOD thing about the paint damage is that if it had to happen, at least it happened in the 'off' season!
Most of my 'malfunctions' happen during primetime!!!

Congrats and don't ya just love it when a plan finally comes together and the problems soon become a distant memory.
Memories..
Yeah now I have a good look at the bike I can see lots more problem areas, but over all it's a beautiful machine. Once the paintwork is done it'll be awesome, and I'll be a very proud owner. Now, how do you get that bloody seat off!!!

And we're off!
Hi Steve,
The Trike Shop are coming back to take bike down to Cardiff, after I washed it yesterday I discovered lots more damage. Basically the area from the front fender to the corners of the panniers has suffered paint damage. In other words most of the bike. The trailer it was transported up in was open to the elements, so they covered the bike in a rainproof cover and put bubble wrap and tape around the cover. The vibrations of the trailer, potholes and bumpy roads for hundreds of miles has rubbed away the surfaces that it came into contact with. So, it's going back down for a new paint job, and it will be black of course. The wait continues...........

Badges
Here are a couple of pictures of the badges Neil did for me. I really like them, and they make a big difference to the look I think. I picked this design to go with my jacket.

WOW!!! Rookie mistake......everybody knows not to put a cover on a bike in a open trailer !!!!!! Every time the wrapping moves it takes off paint.......... sorry Paul!
