N+1 Catrike Trail
Yes, I succumbed to the Catrike winter promotion and got myself a Trail like my wife's except in the new Lava Red:

Very nice looking trike Craig, looks like a well built and engineered machine to me. Disks and quality components it looks like in the pics. Is that a TruVative crankset? A ride report is now mandatory you know!

Very red and very clean.
Take off the chainguard and the trike will be lighter, faster and more intimidating to others. Are you familiar with Hostel Shoppe? One of the great online retailers who have lots of the stuff that you need for 'bent bikes and trikes. |

Bill Lacking any better ride report, here's a link to an account of my comparison test-ride between this and its more expensive sibling, the Catrike Expedition. |

Walking my V-Rex through the crowded streets of downtown Indy during the Super Bowl activities, I was afraid the exposed teeth of the big ring was going to bite the leg of an innocent bystander.
Chainguard would have come in handy then. |
Think JanMM has come up with a valid point. Not just for other people around but For you aswell. That chainring would be better at keeping me out of the bike shed than the Bikes hanging on the rafters that before I put them up I always put them into the big chainring.
A greasy chain across the scalp may hurt but doesn't draw blood. |

+1 on chainguards. Particularly if you already have one. :)
|
Yeah, I wasn't seriously considering taking it off - I just wanted to know how Fredly I was going to appear. Judging by some of the other "accessories" I see trikes tricked out with, I don't think they hold to the same aesthetic that roadies do. ;)

Yes! That is a good looking bike. I am sure you will be happy with it. And, it will always be a nice change from its diamond frame siblings... Variety is the spice...
