Photographs of Harding Tricycles and their owners."Hi Martin
I was looking for info on a 1966 Harding trike i purchased reacently on E bay its is not the 2 wheels at the front type you mention on your site but more like a big wheel Pashley but with drum brakes all round (the main reason i bought it) see attached pics. I will be restoring this next year and will send pics of the result for you to use on your site
I guess the age is correct i have taken it from the Sturmey Archer 3 speed which appears to have been there from new. Cant tell much more at this stage but hope you can help.
Many thanks
Trev"
Trev is looking for information on his trike, if you are able to help, please contact Trev or TA Webmaster, preferably both.
From Andrew Pattle:
Not a lot to add really. Richard Hall has one and apart from the axle,
it's pretty similar. Richard's has a 3-speed too, but used as a
countershaft with a second, short, chain going to a solid axle. One
wheel is fixed on the axle, and the other runs free. His 3-speed is a
tricoaster so he has a back pedal brake (though not an effective one as
it stops the axle but the wheel keeps turning and unscrews itself!) as
well as drums on all three wheels. I can't remember the date of
Richard's... my guess would be it's a little older than this one. It's
the same colour.
The attached advert is from Motor Cycle & Cycle Trader for 1 April 1959.
Clicking on the individual pictures will take you to a larger version and allow you to look at all the larger pictures.
