Top Tube Stand over height 73.5cm
Would Suite 5ft 9 - 6ft 2.
Running 26" wheels to lower the centre of gravity and make cornering more efficient. Mavic Rims

This trike is dynamite - it just flys as you would expect with this specification. It is not for the faint hearted!

I hope I have done justice to this pretty trike. A bargain at the starting price.
I have cropped and brightened the auction images for the blog format.
If only every eBay auction was companied by such superb photography!
Enjoy.
This trike remained unsold. Always a risk with a high starting price. [£700]

ReplyDeleteHi if you ever here of a tricycle for sale could you contact me kind regards mike
ReplyDeleteHi Mike,
ReplyDeleteAssuming you are in the UK your best bets are: eBay[UK] Where trikes come up fairly regularly.
These will usually reach higher prices than average secondhand machines.
Join The Tricycle Association [£10 and year including four free newsletters]
Let it be known to the committee you are looking for a trike and your likely budget.
The widows of elderly tricyclists often have trikes needing a new home.
The Tricycle Association committee members often fulfil this need or know of trikes to be had.
Trikes are regularly listed for sale in the quarterly TA newsletter.
Not everybody keeps their trikes in perfect condition so prices can vary enormously.
Regards
Chris
