I'm selling my Trice as I now have a Catrike 700R, and as I commute to work on smooth (ish) roads, I don't really use the Trice any more and I could use the garage space.
It has quite a few extras/upgrades.
X9 components, 9 speed cassette, excellent Rotor Q-ring triple chainrings (for happy knees) 30/40/53.
Shimano Flat/SPD pedals will be left on.
Front mudguards.
Rear fairing. This was originally on my Optima Baron, but suits the Trice far better. It's not in fantastic condition, with a fair few scratches and a scrape on the side, but is great for aerodynamics, and has reasonable storeage too.
Also included will be the original Ice heavy duty rear rack. (Seen in the bottom picture, taken when I'd just bought the Trice.)
Hardshell seat with side bolsters cushions to hold you when cornering fast.
Front brakes are the ever reliable Sturmey Archer drums. Rear BB7 disc brake, either for parking (makes it a doddle to get on and off) or can be used as a drag brake on long downhills.
2 Mirricle mirrors.
Rear suspension is fitted with the green elastomer, with a spare red one to be included.
Cateye Velo 8 computer.
Tyres up front are the trike specific 'Tryker' tyres, and give a much more comfortable ride than the Duranos it came with, and seem to roll just as well. I also have 5! spare Durano (1.1 inch) tyres, 2 of which are brand new, the other 3 are in good condition.
Less than 100 miles ago, I fitted a new Sram 991 chain. The casstette/sprokets are in good condition, and every thing works as it should.
So there you have it. The Trice has been a great machine in the 6 months I've owned it. Very comfortable, and ideal for my weekly commute of over 100 miles, and I'll be sad to see it go. I'm looking for around £1,200, but open to offers as Xmas is looming! I live in Doncaster, and I'm around most weekends/evenings for viewing/test ride.
Cheers, Carl.

Additional. I'm looking to buy a hybrid/mountain bike for severe Winter conditions, so may consider such a bike in p/x.

, no serious intent but much interest. 
- unsuccessfully thus far 
- to persuade/ convince her that a trike would be ideal for her (and saying similar to daughter Scoosh) - but neither is taking the bait yet ...
