Look What Followed Me Home

MSRP for the current year's model is $1950 plus shipping. You should not have revealed what you paid for the trike because lots of trike wannabes are going to hate you because you found it first! It looks to be in great condition. I wouldn't worry about when it was made. Catrikes have a reputation for excellent durability and for perfecting the trike before marketing them. What you paid is less than I often see entry level models like the much heavier Sun EZ-3 being listed for on Craigslist. Congratulations.

Good deal then! I just didn't want you to feel stuck with something you might not like...

Enjoy it, and come visit on BROL sometime. http://www.bentrideronline.com/messa...splay.php?f=13

Awesome trike! I lucked out on a used Catrike Road for 700 Cdn, about two months ago, and I'm loving it. I put a small freewheeling geared hub motor on the back, and with solid pedalling can maintain 26 mph on the flats with no problem. And I still get tons of exercise, riding it up to 50 miles per trip on weekends. Be prepared to make quite a few small adjustments to dial in the trike, at first, like measuring your toe-in (set it to 1/16') when the trike is fully loaded with you on it. They will all help. Tighten up your headsets if you've got them to reduce any shimmy. Another good thing are "Silver" bar-end shifters which reduce turning moment on gear shifts that you might experience with the SRAM shifters. You can find them on ebay - from "Rivendell"...enjoy your new ride! There is a good catrike user forum here... http://catrike.yuku.com/directory with lots of helpful catrikers.

What is that I heard about getting out more? I had nearly an identical Catrike Pocket (yellow). Toughest trike I ever sold, even after advertising cheaper and cheaper prices for 2 years. Many times on Craigslist, BROL, and with a For Sale sign by the bike path. The main reason it sold was I sold 3 trikes as a package deal (EZ Tad, EZ 3 delta, Catrike) and sold all 3 for $500. each. Trikes have nearly vanished in popularity over 30 years in my town. Sad!
