ok as promised here is my restoration.
the bike is a 1955 trojan mimimotor, and the engine is fitted to a robin hood bicycle. this combination is very special for two reasons: the minimotor is a rare mk5 version and the bike it is fitted to is a very rare robin hood. for these reasons this bike will be restored to original condition. most of my restorations are just cosmetic, but this one is different.
