Sunbeam Tricycle

As you can see here in the photo this young man is in love with his 1950's trike. I received a phone call from his mother. You see they have a problem. The front tire has worn so bad that he is running on the rims. to make matters worse, he does not want to give the trike up ( even for a new one ). His mother told me that he is riding it in the grass now so the rims will be okay until we send the tires over to him. I thought our readers would like to see the next generation of pedal car and bike collectors. So, we will be sending you the new tires soon so that you can get back to serious riding in your driveway.

Here is a picture of our son, Aaron (aged 4) making some ruts in the grass on his 1950's Sunbeam tricycle. The wheel in the front is 8 inch, and the rear wheels are 5 inch. As you can see, he loves his old trike like nobody's business, so we are retoring it for him (when we can prise him off it!). We live outside Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, England. As you can see his siter, Emily loves old fashioned toys as well, bouncing along on her Space Hopper.
