Doesn't seem as though I need any help to molish them, does it
I had an email exchange with Geoff Booker yesterday, which says pretty much the same as tatanab's comment above. Don't think I'm in the market for a new frame. Even if I could justify it, I'm by instinct one for repairing things if I can. And Rogers may be budget trikes, but I'm not exactly a high-end rider
I may well lose the drum brake. The previous owner lived in the North York Moors. I don't, and I've upgraded both front brakes since I bought it anyway - tatanab may remember advising me on fitting a new side-pull. I never use the drum - for one thing, you have to twist your foot, which with SPDs doesn't really work.
How much will new axles deal with Ian H's reservations about the maker? The 2WD upgrade would come to up to four times what I paid for the trike in the first place - and I'd need new derailleurs and Ergos as well
I've probably bent the left axle, and Geoff did offer to replace both - that would give me stronger axles, but at over half the cost of the 2WD option.
On the cost side, therefore, option 1 does look a real possibility
