Hopefully some members have an update on Franklin's status.
this was just the type of info I was looking for. this is a little out of my wheelhouse,, no pun intended, my main interest is old wood wheel racers and pacing bikes.. that said I do like a little bit of everything. the trike was just to interesting to pass on, it needs everything, in my opinion ,but was cheap, again in my opinion. thanks for the info and commets
