For sale - Tigwell Cuckoo RA
This is a unique seperable 3 part front wheel drive low racer based on 349 wheels. Size medium to small. Its a mix of steel and carbon fibre which splits just in front of the seat so that it can easily be transported and has a standalone carbon tail fairing. The machine was built by an exceptional engineer and ex-member Dave Tigwell, I collected most of the parts from one of Dave's friends Eric Coles and have since assembled and sorted many of the parts to make this work as a complete bike. I've added new wheels, restrung the seat and repaired the tailbox. I'll have it with me at Stourport if anybody wants to try it. To be honest I'd welcome a smaller person trying to ride it as my legs don't fit and its not adjustable for length. It's not a project but may want personalising. £500.00. Struggling to insert images here so will be on the club facebook page as well in a few minutes. |

Just to bump it back up the list. This bike is still for sale and could be at York / Hull if anybody wants a look / test ride.

Hi Barney I may be interested. I have Great White but want an unfaired two wheeled recumbent to learn on and race until i get comfortable.
I’m 5’10” with a 32” inseam do you think I would fit?

I have just found the details on facebook and it looks like I’m too tall.

You're more than welcome to try but I wear 34" length jeans and reckon its 3 or 4 inches too short for me. Barney |

I assume this sold eventually, did it, and is no longer for sale?

Thanks. (You'll see from my other recent message in the 'Building' forum that I've got a broken Cuckoo that I'm much attached to and wondering how to fix or replace.)
