I quoted you for Sanyi (the constucteur). That trike is not for sale Stephen

and most probably won't be ever sold.

Thanks Gabor, I probably could not afford a titanium trike anyway, but a nice idea being towed into town for a beer by my dog

This is a great mod. When can I place an order?

Thanks! This is the prototype first. I have to find a cnc workshop for a small batch of 30 maybe. Pricing comes after that. But it will come definitely.

WOW!!!!
When you say "Our new victim"....do you mean that in a generic sense that could be applied/adapted to any machine that has this group?

don't be too enthusiastic, pls! I have an idea and we will make a try.

That would be amazing! I can only think of one spring lever that has a brew-pressure gauge....and for the life of me can't figure out why none of the other spring lever manufacturers haven't gone down this road...

Like the Cremina/Pavoni etc. the hand-pressure on the lever on a spring machine can be "encouraged" or "discouraged"...and with a gauge it would be with precise and repeatable hand-pressure.

Good luck in your endeavours Gabor!

You are absolutely right.
