Well this is it, I am calling the Huntmaster project finished. In the last post which I wrote yesterday, I fitted the wheels and brakes and tightened up everything in that area.
Today it came off the lift to be replaced by the Square Four and rolled out into the yard for some pictures.
The yard is halfway up a hill and when I was happy with the pictures I togged up with helmet and gloves and rode it up the road to test the brakes. I've set the tyre pressures to 28 & 36 psi, on the basis that the weight is more or less the same as the SQ4 - though the distribution might be very different - and it's using the same tyres, albeit in different sizes. If nothing else, it's a good starting point.
Several round trips later, each interspersed with some brake adjustment, it was time to take a cup of tea to Mrs H at her allotment. Domestic bliss waits for no man!
Hopefully tomorrow, we will have some time to go a little further.
