The Wheel Shop

The Year 6s struggled to solve this problem today. Juliette asked that it be posted on our blog so that they could continue to work on it at home...

New models have been brought into the Wheel Shop. 
Now, there are a different number of bicycles, tandem bicycles, and tricycles in the shop. 
There are a total of 135 seats, 118 front handlebars (that steer the bike), and 269 wheels. 
How many bicycles, tandem bicycles and tricycles are there in the wheel shop?
