Scooterotica

here is a mates trilambretta.
its the rare gt framed model with kickstart return spring:

OMG Was that taken recently? Spain? Love the attention to detail with the coiled cables, huge nut holding the kickstart on, extended shock absorber and with the pivot for the steering so far forward how the feck is he going to steer it. And only the rear brake to rely on

There are some cables running to the ends of the axle tube - maybe has some pulley arrangement.

Two words: Death Trap!!!!

I'm loving the wood-fashioned running boards, though.

Thats no Death Trap theres loads of tread on the back tyre Cant get me head round that spare wheel though

Is this classed as Steampunk??

So much detail. Cop aload of the return spring for the kick start and the extended rear shock??
Is that an early edition of stickys book between the seat and spare wheel

this should be available as a A2 poster with scootering! Going straight on my garage wall! Inspirational!

Looks Indian to me .....with that rack on ...Surprised with the tread on the rear ...

I think I asked this question before the forum moved onto the new server ......
Whatever happened to that guy who wanted to build a trilambretta to break a world record a few years back?
Was it Mister David or something like that? I seem to recall he started to get a load of abuse, can't remember the details but the scooter project looked interesting ........... anyone else remember?
