Disaster has struck... the basket at the back has broken (Some bastard in a Leyland Atlantean knocked me and it fell apart), turns out it was only held together by cable ties anyway -_-'. Anyway, I'm going to have to get a new one(sort of) made out of next week's wages (I know a place that'll do me a lockable box, so it's all good) For the moment at least, the idea is as follows:
Keep the trike as it is, but replace the buggered basket at the back with a lockable storage box (even if it's just a hinged box with a padlock on)
Mount the armchair (still working on that) on the box itself (I've got a plan on how to do this, and still be able to adjust the seat )
Take the chainguard off (worthless piece of crap it is) and put a 44/48 tooth chainring on instead depending on the price difference... Which should give me some nice speed on the straighter roads of York
THEN Revert back to the original post.

As you do...
