Building a bike trailer out of my hoard of 'It may come in handy some day'.
The chasses looks like its floating doesn't it. It kept spinning round so I snapped it at different angles, I won't be altering it again so the paint won't get scuffed off like before. The paint is 'Smooth Rite' , I have a massive tin of it that I bought about 17 years ago and it was one of my few belongings that I brought with me from my own house and other life. Before I was posh; well living in a posh area anyway.
Below are a few pics of the bicycle end of the business, this as you can see is another caster wheel housing that will turn when the bicycle changes direction, the other end I showed earlier which is to allow the trailer to stay with the wheels on the ground when the bicycle turns. I have a tow bar that I need to drill holes in for the bolts to go through.
Right, that's it peoples until maybe tomorrow if the Director of household chores and finances allows me out to do it. She has already said something about us 2 clearing the garage up. I wanted to do it myself as I have to watch she doesn't chuck stuff in the rubbish bag that I may need one day. Anyway, next time it should be ready for the dummy run, minus box and dog with this dummy on the bicycle. Then I only have to bolt the box to the chasses. I am trying to invent a quick way of putting the box on one day and having a flat goods trailer the next.
I'll be back soon as possible.
