Up for sale?

Gumtree as well.


Second image is misleading to say the least. Ohio dealers name used, along with their picture which shows a disc brake fitted trike.

I'm not sure what planet our friend is from either (he's probably got us both on 'ignore' so I don't care what he thinks or if he 'reports' us for 'nasty' comments as the bloke has already called me a 'bully boy' which really got my goat)

No doubt he'll be on here bragging about how he has made a profit on the deal but some of us buy bikes/trikes to ride.

I have a Trice QNT which I believe is an older version of the ICE adventure. I have used a telescopic fishing rod as a flag pole and by trimming off the foam grip handle it fitted perfectly inside the seat tube. I use a blue and white windsock which as it spirals as I ride is more noticeable to traffic. The only major drawback with the flag is that it spooks horses. I now know to stop when ever I see a horse and rider on the road and allow them to pass me. If you want more info on the type of rod or the windsock please let me know, hope this is helpful.

Thanks for the information, however my Ice trike has now been sold along with my wife's Dahon Ciao C5 & our Citroen Dispatch WAV. After a fall which my wife had & a dodgy ECG for me, we've given up cycling. It was good while it lasted, but it's now off our bucket list. I still have the telescopic fishing rod I bought to make a flag pole along with a few other items acquired along the way, I will put them on here for sale when the dust settles.

Sorry to read that. Are your medics OK with that, rather than wanting you to keep exercising but take it easier? But all the best for the future either way.

IIRC the Trice T had a mesh seat and is the forerunner of the Adventure as opposed to the racier Q which had a carbon seat, although I think both versions ended up with mesh when teh design changed


Trice T:

Trice Q:

Both has an "NT" version with narrower track to allow easier access to doors etc (4 " rings a bell)



Then horses...... The flag has little to do with the spooking. They are prey animals and as such react to predators

As most predators are low, sleek and fast.... recumbent trikes tend to be classified as such, hence the reaction

Still awaiting final result but in my mind & past experience, it won't be good, maybe my pig valve has run out of puff?

Possibly, but I'd ask their opinion on the most likely way to maintain it as well as possible.
