Ice Trice 'S' for sale.

Can I ask a few questions about the rear fairing?

What is it, and how much luggage capacity does it have? What adjustments did you have to make to get it to fit, and do you think it would be adaptable to a Trice Q with mesh seat?

Hi. The trike is now sold (with fairing). If you're thinking of getting something similar, be warned that they're designed to be fitted to hardshell seats. You can get a fairing like the Goblin which fits Catrike mesh seats (not sure if it fits other makes, as the Catrikes seat is actually part of the frame) I'd love one on my Catrike, but there don't seem to be any u.k. suppliers? http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&safe=off&sa=X&tbo=d&biw=1138&bih=488&tbm=isch&tbnid=F9oJyc4s9iInHM:&imgrefurl=http://www.bentrideronline.com/?tag=catrike&paged=2&docid=h-kGa8U1y5SOIM&imgurl=http://www.bentrideronline.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/goblincricket11in.jpg&w=792&h=341&ei=npTEUKaPJNSL4gTKuoCACg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=4&dur=2971&hovh=147&hovw=342&tx=91&ty=169&sig=110305267118603757506&page=6&tbnh=120&tbnw=254&start=76&ndsp=17&ved=1t:429,r:82,s:0,i:335 If you tried to fit my trikes kind of fairing to a mesh seat, you would have to build some kind of frame to fit.......and it wouldn't look very good imho. Adjustment wise, the fairing is contoured exactly the same as a hardshell seat, so it's just a case of drilling 4 holes through the fairing/seat and attaching with bolts. Luggage capacity? The fairing has a large mound inside (where the rear wheel fits) so you have a small amount of space either side of the wheel, and a bit more on top of the mound. I just used it for waterproofs (it's not designed for anything heavy) and a tool kit. Probably holds about the same as 1 largish pannier.

I'm not sure of the make of mine. It came on an Optima Baron, but suited the trike a lot better. I think it may have been a 'novosport'?

Wow, the Goblin fairing is absolutely beautiful!

Does appear to be Catrike-specific, sadly -- though perhaps I should be grateful as I suspect it's not cheap!

The Trice is now sold. Thanks for all the interest, Carl.

Glad you got it sold, Carl and not at all surprised it went quickly !
