    2 Sperry Rand Tricubs - restoration project thread

    I have started working on the 2 Tricubs that I acquired last year. These were both originally 8hp/elec start units (model 38E), which seem to be considerably scarcer than the 5hp version. The first unit (unit A for this thread) is pretty nice, unmolested body and frame, but no engine. I have a...

    Sperry Rand trike motherlode

    Last week I took delivery of 3 additional Sperry Rand trikes for my collection. My friend also brought his Tricart along, so we had to take advantage of this rare photo-op. New for me: ● Tricub, 5hp, all-original survivor. Original balloon tires still holding air! ● Tricub, original and...

    Handlebar clamp blocks

    SPD Minicub

    This weekend, I turned my Minicub from a collection of loose parts into less loose parts and something that rolls. I probably won't have the body and seat done until spring, but I should have the engine and all mechanicals ready by then. Check out more of my before and during photos in my...

    SPD Tricart storage hut

    I have just acquired what may be the rarest of all Tricart accessories... a storage hut made by Sperry Rand - SPD. It is the familiar SPD lime green and it still has a fossil of the SPD decal on the front which I think is the same as the rear Tricart decal. It needs a little help, but pretty...
