Forgot to mention in our last post that despite not doing much cycling, we have bought a new (secondhand) Greenspeed Tandem Trike – aka Greta Greenspeed.
Gertie Greenspeed will shortly be up for sale (anyone interested?), but at the moment we are a two recumbent tandem trike household – serious challenge finding somewhere to house them both.
Greta is red and even longer than Gertie, because her frame is Large / Medium compared to Gertie’s Medium / Small. Other differences include a Schlumpf Mountain Drive crankset instead of Sram Dual Drive hub; Big Magura brakes instead of Hope discs A rear disc brake (also hydraulic); a massive 65 teeth large chainring (will we ever use it?); and she is much younger.
Still adjusting boom and chainset to suit our leg lengths, fitting new chains and doing various other fettling tasks. Have done a circuit of the car park next to our bungalow, but hope to have all ready for a proper maiden voyage soon.
