A moment in time

On the 21st of April, my trimotorevival journey was at a turning point. I realised that my efforts were on the point of shifting from stripping, cleaning and refurbishing to reassembly. It was a big realisation for me.

As it happens, there were still quite a few more components for me to refurb as I went. I found that each step I took showed up the odd bracket or so that needed a coat of paint or a polish.

Saturday morning: a mini milestone

After months of painstaking work (or fanny about, if you prefer), the rear suspension, wheel and drive were finally reunited in perfect harmony. That means she can be rolled around again, albeit in minimalist stripped-down form.

Well, OK, that might be a bit of an overstatement but still it was a big moment for me to be able to wheel wonderful Wuby awound again.So, to celebrate, I did a couple of little walk-around movies.

It's amazing how light a big bike can be .... when half of it isn't there!
