One rear wheel comes off the axle and fits in the monostay. The rear step unbolts.

Instead of hanging it in the bike room, I have a granddaughter that would love to ride it...

It's cast aluminum, and I see surface cracks here and there on the wheels. I thought about eBaying it, but it is probably more of a decoration than a rider. I wouldn't want to be responsible.

They do go for crazy money, in even worse overall condition.

I've sold a number of them over the years. Very cool.

We used to drink beer and see who could time trial around the block the fastest.

Those are the tricycles we had to ride in kindergarten. Brings back memories.
