My New Weekend .... Thing
« on: November 21, 2009, 01:53:44 PM »
Well as you probably know, I have a screwed right knee and where I'm now putting more weight on my left knee to keep of it... I'm soon going to end up with the same problem on that knee so work gave me this!!

Yep it's a paper round trolley, paper round is still paying £35 a week...  :yahoo:

Anyway here we go...




It's got a bit of paint peel but other than that, it's in good condition! specs:

Top Speed - depends how fast you walk
Mpg - depends how far you can walk
Extras - enough room for about 50ish papers, room for chocolate and energy drinks!!
Downsides - the metal gets a bit cold and it's a bit noisy too!

Defo!!!

The mornings are getting a lot darker now and safety is the key so it's gonna be getting some extra white lights fitted, possibly some reflector tape to pimp the handle a bit and then I'm not sure

I think it needs low profile tires and maybe Lexus lights too.

I've read about the evils of drinking beer, so I gave up reading.

i think the subtle look will be right for this,if i was you mate i would lower it 5mm,a nice set of retro 6" wheels re-trim the fabric and fit a recaro badge,some angel eyes up front and tinted rears(safety is a must) and i think you'll get admiring looks whenever your out cruising  :good:

On ebay you can buy just halo rings.... was thinking about getting some then making a smallish box at the bottom of the bag for some batteries to power them!
