Hello Charles, The type of trike on this web site is called a "K" type. The K stands for Kendrick. They have the same wheel configuration as Moggie (Morgan) Beeza (BSA) or Triking three wheeler. Now I will have a go on anything but most definitely not a "K" type. Have tried a Kendrick, Higgins and a Taylor and they are all bloody frightening! In fact if you blindfolded me and tied my hands behind my back and put on the stokers seat of tandem piloted by Tony Oliver and we did the descent off the Glaibier down into Briancon I would feel a darn sight safer and happier! No the "K" stands for something else in my vocabulary and you wouldn't have to fit a pair of Lambert alloy forks, Atax stem or the infamous Cinelli pedals to it as it would be frighteningly enough already. The only advantage on one of these contraptions is that you can use conventional hub or derailleur gears. Cheers Mick.

Thats all for now. Keep those wheels spinning, in your memories if not still on the road. Be lucky Mick Butler Huntingdon UK.
