G'Day Like.
There's a topic in the Info section covering posting of pics. Have a read and let a mod know if you need more help.
Cheers

Hi pro1200ute
is your Super Elliott trike a new bike or an old 1950's 1960's version with cast 'E' on the front of the frame.
I am rebuilding a 1950-60's Super Elliott tricycle, square nut hold the trike axle to the ladies 26" frame.
We have found a Super Elliot 26" front forks to replace the damaged one.
I am looking for any images of an Super Elliott tricycle. There is a listing on an old website from close Canberra Bicycle Museum
http://www.collectionsaustralia.net.au/ ... tail/10102" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; , that has specification but no image.
Their email and website no longer function.
thanks for any help

I never knew Super Elliot did tricycles, i thought they were more of a pommy thing. I'd love to get my hands on a nice racing trike
.

Malvern Star also did tricycles. Remember coming across this MS ad and thinking what an effort this must have been!

Just to tidy up, I suspect that the recent enquiry was another 'help me prepare my gumtree/ebay advert' whilst giving the impression that there was an interest in the bikes history.
There is strong circumstantial material to suggest that the Super Elliott trike is on sale on Gumtree in West Australia.

Nice looking early - mid '70s trike. Lord knows why you'd want a 3-speed hub gear to go faster. Those things are fun (nee scary) enough at low speeds. Drive is only via the left rear wheel and "brakes" are only on the front wheel.
A simple clean up and it will look a million bucks.
