Today I put the other brace on the front triangle.

When rotated around to put the pivot end higher and the BB further forward and a bit lower it looks like this.

That yardstick is there for me to see where my required 68cm from BB to seat mount cup will be.
Yup, smack in the ball park (better than smack in the balls too! )

Did some work at the sis-in-laws this morning, went there on me mobike. First time its been out of the garage for weeks, wanted to give it a run before a planned ride out tomorrow. Planning on going to a VMCC event at Cadwell Park, where they will be ragging vintage racing machines round the track.

Hope to see plenty of pics:). Enjoy the ride, what bike you taking?

I am sure once its altogether I will understand the layout:D.
As you have been struggling with, Trike wt V human power have you considered aluminum. I dont know how much of a wt saving it would be, but would be an excuse to buy some new shiny stuff and time in the shed to learn how to:D.

I really ought to as I have an AC/DC TIG machine that will do Aluminium. But, there's a lot of talk out there that post welding ALI goes brittle and needs to be put in an annealing oven and I don't have one.
The end result of all the building is intended to be a big-brother to this one.

Oh so that’s what all the signs where when I drove past.
Enjoy…
 
..that my "lovely" neighbours (who seem to operate in a bubble of "what we want") have had to be requested to arrange for a tarpaulin to be spread across their scaffolding because their brickies are peppering my newly painted wall and my mini-barn with little gobbets of mortar. :mad::mad::mad::mad:
FFS! they put a tarp up on the other side where the nursing home is, but US? Oh... just FÜCK us, we don't matter.:oops:

I have found this sort of behaviour is sadly the norm around here :(

Not sure why I liked that but;).
Make sure it’s cleaned and back to how it was at his cost (you have pics:)).
