Early 80s Bicycle Trailer Resto
I found this early 80s bicycle trailer for carrying two children and I am going to restore and use. I have already started working on it....I am repainting the sun bleached hull glossy black and then I will remove the rust from the wheels and replace any broken components. Overall in nice shape...the tires even aired up! I found this old bicycle trailer chunked in a huge dumpster in the back part of my neighborhood and saved it! I will also be adding some safety items as well such as a flag and a LED rear reflector. Very cool find and neat resto project! More to come!
Update: I restored the trailer....I repainted in glossy black and added a water bottle holder, push horn, auto ID tag as well as a safety flag! :) Nice find!

Do you know who makes that trailer?
I have the frame for one of those and need a hitch part.
I seem to remember it had a silver sticker on the plastic body with the company name on it.
Thanks for any help Ken.

I am in the process of restoring the exact same trailer. Just curious, what kind of paint did you use on the plastic? This is my first attempt at something like this, any tips/tricks on the best way to prepare for paint, remove rust, etc.?
Thanks!
