The Micro is described on the ICE history pages as "the lowest, most aerodynamic Trice ever built" and in reviews as one of the fastest trikes made. It is nevertheless a versatile machine - Micros have been ridden successfully in BHPC races and have completed many UK Audax events, including London-Edinburgh-London.<br id="yiv1704528819yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465467149764_3689"> <br id="yiv1704528819yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465467149764_3690">This example has been meticulously maintained and always kept indoors.

Hi there. Three questions: 1) what size rider can the bike accommodate? 2) is the price fixed or are you open to offers? 3) where are you located? Many thanks.

I'm sending a PM with e-mail address and phone number.
The trike is in Shrewsbury. Price is already very low for this deluxe model, but might be negotiable a little. It is currently set up for me - height 167cm, saddle height on an upright 68cm. There is scope for extending the boom to fit a taller person, but I don't know offhand how much extension is available. It could also be made shorter. We can discuss your needs and set it up for you if you would like a test ride. Judith |

Hi Judith, I am genuinely looking for a trike, however I am a complete newcomer to the world of trikes and aren't able to make a snap judgement about suitability like other more experienced individuals on the site. But from your description and included photos I am very interested in the trice micro as advertised. My only real concern is whether it is big enough in terms of boom extension and possibly seat size. I am about 5'8" tall with relatively short legs and fairly slim build, so maybe that isn't a problem. I suppose the obvious solution would be to take a look at it, although how easy that is depends on our respective locations. I live in a place called Beverley in Yorkshire. In the meantime perhaps we could have a quick chat about it. My number is 07817442016 or I could call you if that's preferable.
