This is not the trike of my youth. The forks are the most disappointing as I will have to repair them. Will probably get a machine shop to make some for me. They are too flimsy and the very limited use of two less than three year olds has already caused them to slant out of true. On the other hand, something about the look of the trike makes it the one my grand kids choose as their favorite. Maybe i will find an old one in a junk store or estate auction. Please, restore and preserve the old trikes. There are not any replacements.
