Trikes on e-bay
Sigurd Mudtracker:
Intriguingly there was a near-identical listing on eBay for a near-identical George Longstaff trike a month or two back. If memory serves the previous listing had an unbelievable Buy-It-Now price of about £400 - and according to my watch list, it was bought.
Caveat emptor, I say.
On the brake front, my KR has a drum brake operating on the drive axle to both rear wheels. After much fiddling with Travel Agents etc it provides a gentle retardation on gradients not exceeding 1%. ::-)

My yeti is lower tech and has two rear drums but it doesn't seem to effect the handling when one locks up. Mind you they don't do much at all even together.

Looks a bit odd but they all look alike in a ditch

If it was a bigger frame I'd be tempted.
What size frame is yours Zipper?

This time a Longstaff conversion

Believe I have seen that trike conversion on eBay before - months ago. What goes around comes around ;D

There's one on the Ken Rogers I have just bought.
