I let lathe boy out again and he made this 2WD unit for a tricycle that accepts a standard 8-Speed cassette.

14cm long end to end. Just have to weld on 3 or 4 drive dogs to the tube and poking through the sprocket teeth on the left.
All up weight 980g so lighter than my other one with 2 sturmey archer freewheels and the additional internal gear hub.

Bit chilly 'ere smornin. (Telly said we'd had the coldest November day for 30 years, a day or two ago!)
Had to run out twice in just my shirt to the end of the drive.
Forgot to put the bins out last night, so once to see if the bin men had bin, then again to put 'em out!
Blinkin tea went cold!
Doggies woke us at 5 to 8 as usual. we can't fool 'em!
Waitrose has delivered.
The booze we ordered from Tesco will be delivered Sunday.
W has some sort of "Christmas Slot" organised (oooh, Matron!!) for the rest of the special Xmas stuff.
All Christmas presents have been delivered. (Thank you tinternet).
So all that is left is to put up the decs, wrap the pressies and post off the ones going afar. So hopefully the only queue we'll meet will be in the post office, or what goes for one nowadays.

Nope we don't like the shops at Christmas neither!
(I don't like 'em ever, well except maybe tool shops.)
W just gone off to her armchair tai-chi. :rolleyes: Hmm!

For @WhiskyLassie, yes the bobbin goes in from the front and you can wind it full, either from the reel directly or, if you don't want to unthread the sewing mechanism, from where it goes down to the needle in a right old cats cradle fashion! According to the manual.
Husqvarna Prisma 980 Computer, is the name of it and honestly it looks like one heck of a good machine. It even talks about sewing leather. So I am glad we now have two!

Have a good day folks!:):):)
 
My RR is great, it keeps me warm even when I'm working from home!
The cost of the commute is more than having the heating set to toasty all day
Love this!:):):)
I had an old BMW 528 for a while. It cost me a gallon of peteroil to go to work and back every day, 16 miles in toto.
din't do that for long! Shame as it was a lovely mocheeen! (Starting from cold every time, obvs, and no real bit where I could get it into 4th for long! Had no 5th gear, remember the days?) But went like stinko given the chance. :):):)
