I've been working on this trike on and off over the winter and I finished it up just in time for it's first shakedown cruise in the 4th of July parade with my local bike shop, Erlton Bikes...
well it turns out that the locknut on the bottom bracket was stripped and by the time we got to the end of the parade the bottom bracket was almost ready to spit its bearings out. Luckily it was a short walk back to the shop, so I lit up the bricketts figuring they'd be nice and toasty by the time I got back.
They were...You can see the tools for the crank repair on the seat in the second pic.
and a very short video...
All in all it worked out in the end. Have a happy 4th!
