For a while now I have been on the hunt for a little tricycle for my girl to play with and I have been after a metal one – so that it lasts for a long time. I had been looking online after only being able to find plastic ones in the shops and saw that they were really expensive, I also looked on ebay but couldn’t really find anything I liked, until I came accross this one in our local charity shop for just 1.50!
A good scrub, a quick bath and a lick of paint and it’s like new! Little ‘T’ loves it so far and I’m looking forward to years of joy from this little bargain!

Thank-you Wendy!

Thanks Rebecca, yes it was a bargain – seems crazy that the paint cost 4 times the price of the bike itself!
Wonderful find! I love a bargain.

Thanks for taking the time to comment x
Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can you find me one too??? I LOVE it, it’s so cute!!!! Really does look brilliant! xxx
Thank-you! I will keep my eyes peeled for you and buy one if I find it! Now if ‘L’ can teach ‘T’ how to hold on then that would be great!! x
Turned out so well! You know, they use these items for such a short period of time, so unless you have a big houseful of kids, the cost of a new one hardly makes sense. Recycle! Great job, and what a super buy!
Thanks Susie – my thoughts exactly! And a lot more satisfying! x
Wow! That looks so great! You did a brilliant job!

Thank-you, it didn’t take long at all as didn;t need a lot doing to it, just a good scrub and a new coat of paint.
What a lovely post – well done you for giving a much loved tricycle a whole new lease of life!
I love the photos – each made me smile more…
