Older ICE Trice - Opinions please

[cosmicbike]

So I've been thinking about a dabble in the trike world, but on a budget. Just found this one on ebay, reasonable distance from me, looks OK, just wondering if there I anything I should look for on a 15yr old Trice?

I used to have a new one. I cannot tell you what to look for but that one looks the business. Go and have a go on it :0)

WoW looks very good

 

[Smokin Joe]

I've been looking at that myself.

18 hours to go and no bids ?

After all the owner has had done to the trike I'd leave well alone. However if so, then I'd be wanting to look at the welds near the crucifix and also the where the track bar is attached to the steering arms as these have been know to fail.

That look's really nice no harm in having a look though.

Now under 3 hours and no bids

Starting price is way too high. Off-road spec is limiting.

 

[mickle]

Off road spec is easy to change with fresh tyres and change of sprockets and/or chainrings.

It's easily worth £500. And when you come to sell it you'll very likely get that for it.

Ended with no bids.

I was very tempted myself, but I don't know anything about recumbents so I'm wary about buying second hand blind. If it had been nearer I'd have gone for a look.

@cosmicbike resisted too.

 

[cosmicbike]

I did indeed, unable to get there to view due to birthday parties. May take a look if it gets relisted
