for my next big project I,m going to attempt to build a brand new very old style sidecar,,
the flexible, they were around in the very early 1900,s, the bike was able to lean as a solo along with the sidecar tyre with the chair staying flat,

                                     BUT

I,m going to Steptoe it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, stay tuned over the next few months
