I first came across this Quadrant around 10 years ago, when I was working on a Quadrant tricycle and discovered that it required two right hand pedal cranks. Pete Matthews, from Dublin, had previously displayed a quantity of cranks on his Beaulieu Autojumble stall, so I contacted him. I was impressed by his generosity when he posted half a dozen to me to choose from. We discussed our Quadrants and he told me about this one requiring some minor jobs. I was pleased to be able to acquire it. I already have one, so, having now completed the various tasks needed, it is on the market ready for another enthusiast to enjoy.

As you can see in the video, the chainless mechanism and the band brake are fully functional, and it’s ready to display and ride.
