Greetings---

With all this trike talk I thought I'd share a few images I had posted a long time ago, which some of you may not have seen.

The first is one of the finest cornering shots I've ever seen, a vintage photo from a 1948 or so issue of Cycling of Dave Duffield at speed.

The next four shots are of a purpose-built Longstaff tandem trike. I have also seen Jack Taylor tandem trikes, built with conversion kits, but I don't know that I've seen a purpose-built one.

The next shot is the great British time trialer Ray Booty, riding a 25-inch frame with a Holdsworth conversion kit attached.

The last four shots are of the very kit Ray Booty rode, which Alexander Von Tutschek obtained (along with many other Booty items) and sold on ebay. Anyone on the CR List buy it?

Here's the link.
