He seems to have taken a shine to the KMX Viper. I know it's a self build but he's pretty useful in that department.
I know very little about these things so I thought I would ask on here.

He's trawling ebay for bikes too. Not in a hurry, we want to move house first, which should see us settled in about a month.

Any advice on what to look for, what not to look for etc.
Thanks

He could get in touch with Kevin at DTEK in Little Thetford and ask what he has in stock.
 
Got a silver / black trim 24speed tadpole with disc brakes and USS for sale ,3 x 20" wheels in Brighton area if he wants an inexpensive trike .
Doubt if it will hang around for long at £425 ,

will be on Gumtree soon ...

Tandem has gone !

regards emma

Thanks for replying Emma. He won't be ready for a month as we are moving house, about 360 miles so tooing and froing is not really an option, and he wants to sell his boardman first. Do you build and sell reasonably often?
 
@Saluki

This will be the last for a little while , I am down sizing my collection and this is the last of them , I sold two this year ..
(Basically I have run out of space ) :cry:
This year I need to concentrate on doing some riding :bicycle:.. :sweat: as my HB1AC is going out of control :banghead:

There might be another later but that will be an e-trike it will be the one on my avatar Unless it reverts to a push trike
.Unless I get my finger out and replace Kens trike . But that will be another story ( and thread ).

I have a friend who has my Giringo ( italian for tadpole ) up for sale and he is near Petersfield I cannot see 2 trikes going in the next month .

Regards emma

Ken at dialysis at the mo.. can you leave it with me for a few hours and I will have a chat with him when he gets home. It's spring time so probably a good time to shift a carbon roadie(his boardman)

Two ICE Trikes for sale over on the old CTC /We are cycling UK forum
My wife and I are reluctantly selling our trikes as they have had little use for the last two years and we need the space.

They are substantially identical except that one has an aluminium front boom whilst the other is steel. The all steel trike has a Terracycle titanium idler fitted, hence the slightly higher price. Both are in very good order, never having been used by us in the winter and are ready to ride. There are no lights included, but both have Sigma computers and bottle cages. The aluminium boom version has a nine speed cassette and the steel versio has an eight speed cassette both with triple chainsets. All gear is Shimano.

Needless to say these machines are a pleasure to ride and ICE Trikes have a desevedly excellent reputation. Photographs are available here:

All steel trike: Price £950

Age is mostly a matter of mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter.

My 2006 Trice Q, Regina, is available. She's got a 26" rear wheel at the moment, expertly fitted by @Mr Magoo OTP.

Some piccies:

(And yes, I know I need to sort the lawn out).
Hi
That looks stunning but we are off, on Tuesday, to collect a trike from @voyager. I suspect your gorgeous looking trike might be a tad out of our current price range. I do suspect, however, that sometime after the move, that a second trike (for me) is likely to be on the cards :smile:

We shall be going off to the South Coast of England to fetch a lovely trike back, for Hubster, on Tuesday.
I bought him a flag for it and then started to hunt about for a flagpole. After being advised by @voyager - a mine of awesome information - we stuck a post up on faceache, a local buying, selling, free to good home type page, asking if anyone had a dead fishing rod going begging as we needed about 4' of one. The thin end. Within 10 minutes I'd been messaged and a neighbour was standing at our door with 5' of dead rod. Hubs is de-eyeing it now.

He is somewhat excited and can't wait to take possession of it.:hyper:

Me? I'm just hoping that he'll shut up once he has it :smile: :music:
