Ginsters, the front wheel is from a unicycle. You may be able to see in the photo but the lower half of the unicycle forks have been welded onto the upper half of the box forks

Unfortunately it's fixed, if you want a freewheeling one then have a look at kids trikes like the "green machine" these come with freewheeling front wheels
I just prefer not having any brakes on the bars and with the fixed wheel I can just stop pedalling

I did see you around all weekend! I also noticed that you struggled to get through the pedestrian gates to the paddock!
uber cool though, my girlfriend wanted a go!

Also saw the trike at brands, then saw you spent more money on tyres for it than I did my mini !

I saw you too, well, i saw the trike parked outside the brands hatch shop! one thing concerns me though, I think for safety, you may need to triangulate the welded joint just in front of the seat because if it snaps, you may end up with a high voice LOL

Hey yoda, I had the same thought but just ran out of time before the show to get to do it, there is now a piece of curved tube to triangulate the corner.
Thanks for the photos guys!
Really nice to see everyone liked it

Hey guys, just a heads up for anybody following this thread. The trike will be up for sale as soon as I've cleaned and painted some bits.
Will be for sale without the exactons but for the right offer I will throw in the demio wheels and super stretched tyres
Keep an eye in the for sale section soon
