Ahoy Randy from your neighbor just down the road in Prairieville! Welcome to the CR list!
I'm also 54, a Capricorn and the proud owner of a 1977 Ciocc San Cristobal.
Did you try asking the folks over at Pedal Play if they've run across any good adult trikes? I know the owner has a fair number of "classic" bikes in the shop.

Randall Dineer, Baton Rouge, Louisiana
ht: 6-4"
wt: 310 + or -. used to be 4 plus
age: 54
rigs: 1967 worksman trike, a late 1960's Bottecchia and a mid-70's drillium Paramount. Due to my size issues, I have not ridden the Bott or the Paramount for years.
sign: Capricorn
interests: rc planes, wood carving, old fans, old bicycles
why I joined: the wife says I am a boring l_y. She's encouraged me to get some hobbies and interests. I am looking to learn and possibly collect. Also looking to learn more about riding positioning so that I can go further longer and lose more lbs. I do not want to die of diabetes at age 53. I am also very interested in expanding my trike collection. I have seen Holdworth trikes before on UK Ebay but it was a whole month of stripper dollars to get them here. Anyone know of a good source for quality classic adult man trikes?
thanks for the vine guys.
