We accomplished quite a lot today. In short, got the pedals on and operational and got a first coat of paint on 95% of the trike.

The pedals went extremely well. The brakes were even easy to bleed. The bad news, and it’s pretty minor, is that upon reflection, I don’t think the wheel will clear the fittings on the pedals in the event of a hard turn while braking, so I will need to move them. It’s just a matter of drilling 4 news holes.

The paint was really an all day affair that Toni was working on before I finished the pedals and could join in. In no particular order, we masked off large portions of the trike, removed the fuel tank, cleaned a LOT of surface with acetone, finished painting the front wheel, painted the ‘faux’ tank and the body of the trike. It will definitely all need another coat and we ran out, so we’ll have to buy another can.
