    Mine was a Windcheetah design by Mike Borrows in England, really fun and fast but with two drum brakes in the front stopping was pretty scary since they thing got the tendency to steer abruptly to one side..

    Sorry I don't have pictures of it but her is one from the net.

    I wish..... A gal used it to ride to the south pole. I find myself drawn to it though. Someday maybe.

    Yes as far as I know it was the first of this Trike HPV's in fact it held the world speed record for a few years on his category..

    Let us know when you do.

    Is it similar in cost to shipping a conventional bike?

    I had a Catrike Speed for awhile. It was a lot of fun, but I did not like riding it on public roads. I always felt I was about ready to get squashed.

    :stupid

    I've got one wrapped in a tarp under the house. I rode it halfway across Missouri on the Katy. I rode it a little bit on the streets in a small city of ~100k people. :nah No driver ever saw me.

    Plus you couldn't stand on the pedals to take chatter out of a road or trail. You just had to sit there & take it. No thanks.

    Hmmm, good points, I've never owned one. I thought maybe a couple of flags might address the visibility issue but perhaps I need to ride one first to see if is as comfortable as it looks.

    Thanks.

    It was tremendously comfy as long as the riding surface was glass-smooth. And tilties were fun....

    Do they sell suspended versions?

    Edit - Google says indeed they do. Hmmm.

    Short video of Mountain View Trail in Aztec, NM - first ride out there on the Goblin, and paid for it twice! Enjoy!

    My Lapierre Spicy 327 Full Suspender... a nice upgrade from my old Specialized SX Trail.

    Picked it up today at a rummage sale, the magic marker noting make me believe it came from school stock.

    Time for some disassembly, inspection, repair, and reassembly.

    You suck ass! :lol3

    Wish you were my neighbor. We could really bling out that thing, with some polish work.

    :webers

    I keep going back and forth, not sure if I want to bling it out or leave the patina alone and just fine tune it. :scratch

    They aren't all that rare, as I see them on our Craigslist once in a while, plus production was almost 50 years long.
