Hi, if anyone gets offered this Higgins tricycle it is stolen and belongs to my grandad. It's signwitten by him with his name "Tim Roberts" and currently has red walled tyres. I can give the frame number aswell if anyone sees it.
It has all campag parts and a specially made differential. It's his pride and joy as well as his main transport and has been for over 30 years.

Good news. Trike has been recovered. Let's hope the perpetrators fell off trying to ride it. :lol:

That is great news, especially given how much the trike means to him.

Thankyou you to everyone who offered to help.
The thieves had somone dump it over his back gate this morning. I believe we made it very hard to sell as many family and friends and kind strangers put it all over the Internet etc.
Don’t fret, it’s OK to: ride a simple old bike; ride slowly, walk, rest and admire the view; ride off-road; ride in your raincoat; ride by yourself; ride in the dark; and ride one hundred yards or one hundred miles. Your bike and your choices to suit you.
