Good Day,

I live in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada and ride a 2001 Greenspeed GTR. I bought
the trike last February from a chap in Fort Worth, Texas. Since then I have
modifying the trike to meet my needs. AS I look at your photos, I notice the
similarities to my own trike. I did change the 105 crank to a mountain bike
crank with a 42/32/20. I did install the same pedals you have shown the 535s I
think to Crank Pedals Eggbeaters. Of course after the change I find out that the
clips from Crank Brothers on my cycling shoes won't fit into any of the other
clipless pedals I have on my other bikes. I also rigged it to haul a BOB
trailer. I was curious about a few of the item you have on your trike. One being
the black holder on the back of your seat? The other item is the fairing you
have on the trike. Is it easy to take on and off the trike. My reason for asking
is I drive a Volkswagen Jetta Stationwagon. As my trike sit s and the back seats
down I can roll the trike into the back of the wagon with the pedals between
myself and the passengers seat. I had been giving some serious thought to buying
a fairing to get the wind resistance down. I noticed that you have installed
another water bottle cage on your fairing frame which looks great. I in turn
have been using the only cage located on the boom in front of the seat for the
container to hold the compressed air for my horn. Have you ever heard of
Fastback Hydration Systems which strap to the back of the seat? What I have been
using to give me quantity is a Unbottle from CamelBack strapped to the top of my
rack and feed the tube through the headrest and over my shoulder and pinched to
my jacket. The CamelBack will hold up to 3 Litres. Before I go one other
question with the conditions of the roads getting worse it seems every year it
has been doing somewhat of a number on my lower back. Do you have you used any
type of cushioning on your seat to help ease the jolts. Thanks for any info and
I must say "Really nice looking trike" Take care.

Take a look at my GTR in various stages of dress for gear carrying. The
panniers and racktop bag are arkel. The Tailrider and GT-60's. And it's
a BOB trailer. Make sure on the BOB that you can come up with a method
to hitch it, newer 3 speed rear hubs are a problem that way. But there
are BOB nutz available for my 3X7 hub.

I also use smaller panniers for just local rides. Originally I built
them as front panniers for my touring upright.
