Since I am not able to transport my trike to a “safe” ride area because my van is being serviced, I decided to remove Silk’s wheels [below]. In addition, my Trek Project One is also being serviced because I will take it to Florida. So, today I rode my old standby–My Trek 5200 and will likely ride it tomorrow as I go to pick up my van.

Silk is home Reply
Silk, CT7225, a smooth Black Cat [Schwartz Katz in German--the S & K in her name], was delivered to her new home at 1:00 p.m. and joins a stable of 5 other cycles. The wait is finally over and my dream a reality.
The wait was not bad at all–thanks to Catrike and Bent Up Cycles–especially Dana, owner of Bent Up Cycles. I placed my order 01/17 and received it 02/06–20 days [and that is with shipment to the west coast & back]. Now, it is time to adorn her with the various accessories I’ve been working on as described in this blog–to make her truly smooth. But, before I do, once assembled, I’ll weigh her and do a few check rides.
I am happy to be a member of the trike group and look forward to riding with my fellow trikers. Thanks for your interest and your comments.
May we all have following winds. –jim
