1982 Swallow TT Racing Trike Made From Columbus Tubing

Bike will need a little TLC to get her looking nice as it has been sitting in the garage collecting dust for many years but is still in very good condition for its age.





700c Wheels




Very Lightweight racing trike Weight is only 12 kg



THE FRAME SIZE IS - 22" FROM CENTRE OF PEDAL SPINDLE UP TO SEAT MOUNT



5 SPEED BUT WILL ACCEPT ANY SIZE FREEWHEEL OR FRONT DRIVE TRAIN



REAR WHEELS  Weinmann 700c With Swallow Hub's

 2 Mafac brakes Note the two brakes- both on the front wheel.






























































Swallow seems to be a bit of an unknown quantity in trikes. Though it looks familiar, the rear axle does not look like Rogers, Higgins, Holdsworth or Longstaff. The chainstays look closer together than most trikes. The Tricycle Association seems not to have any information on Swallow either. Perhaps the new owner will share some details with the TA Webmaster?



This trike sold for £600!
