Ken Rogers Trike Kit..?
I picked up this old Sekine, fitted with a little used Ken Rogers three wheel kit. The kit is in great shape, except for the time rotted tires. Any ideas what this is worth - just the kit and rear wheels, not the bike...

RATS!!!! Yeah I would love one these. I'll be No2 if Dan changes his mind. Let me look around I think I have a link to a trike club or something.
I see them ebay sometimes and they go around $100 I think, there are also some real cheap one (I think meant more 26" wheels) that gor for like $50ish.
I had a link for a place that makes/made these but it isn't working.
Here is an English Trike club https://www.tricycleassociation.org.uk/Home.html

As many of you know, I sell almost everything that I get my hands on, or at least try to do so. I do keep the odd bike or component if either sparks interest. And, sadly for a couple of you, the trike kit does strike interest. Anyway, it is not for sale today since I have a plan for the trike...
I intend to start a series of how to video features on my website. With that in mind, I intend to do a complete how to find, restore and maintain series of video releases, all designed to help people find/build vintage bicycles and on a tight budget, like mine. The bike I intend to use as an example through all of the videos is my seventies something Falcon San Romeo...
The San Romeo will get the full restoration treatment, brushed on paint job, decals from Australia and as much machine polishing of alloy components that I can manage. The bike will be painted powder blue and so will the Dave Rogers tricycle kit (except for the axle, which will remain white to compliment the white panels on the Falcon frame set. With luck, I should end up with a fun bike (trike) to ride and one that will, certainly, be quite different. Then, once built, and as many of you might expect, I intend a full feature article on the Falcon and its meld with the trike kit.
I hope to have the bike and the videos done by the coming Fall. I will update this thread, from time to time, in case anyone is actually iterested.
Anyway - the Sekine Trike and the Falcon that will soon be a trike...
