According to my ancient verniers they measure 36mm.

How does that compare to the Harris diameter ?

Rich, looking good like the original swing arm!
Not sure about TR Seat though it probably just needs dropping a tad to cover the frame rails but thats just my opinion :oops: .
Top work though!
It should look very much like Ricardo's old bike,

Spent a long time pondering over the seat height Phil and decided I quite like being able to see the frame rails plus it’s a big help with leg room cos I’m a lanky sod lol.
