Animal Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 I got accosted by a mate at the weekend, asking me to keep an eye out for a pair of bucket seats for a trike he's building. It's a generic Reliant engined trike and he wants to fit a pair of bucket seats at the back with full harnesses so he can take his kids out in total safety. The front is a long moped seat him and his wife can fit on, but he kept stressing the pint that he wanted his kids to be as safe as possible. I said I'd keep an eye open to which he said he's not looking to spend more than £20-£30 per seat! I mean, what the hell does he expect to get for that price? I didn't even bother asking him if he'd priced up harnesses yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 Argos - 375/4494 £29.59 each. http://www.argos.co.uk/wcsstore/argos/images/49-3754494A70UC500483M.jpg Show him that. THAT is what he can get for under £30 per seat. Best of luck dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 You should have pretended not to have seen him and carried on walking... next time you see him, look at your watch and then break into a mild jog... maybe shout something at a stranger to throw him off the scent.

Animal Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 That's my usual trick, lol, he's the dullest man on earth. Unfortunately, it was at my bike club's rock night, so I couldn't escape. On the plus side, his father-in-law is an upholsterer, so I can blag him to do the seats for my trike when it's ready Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ark Posted February 11, 2010 Share Posted February 11, 2010 He's looking at a minimum of £200 each for fixed-back bucket seats, and another £60 each for 4-point harnesses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 Yep, I know that and we know that. However, the planet he is on doesn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
