The real question is when will RBW release the prototype of the (lugged steel) tadpole trike they have secretly been working on? You heard it here first. Hi John, Wouldn't that be something? I can only imagine how beautiful and expensive a Riv lugged steel tadpole trike would be...and

Hi Patrick, That lugged steel Ken Rogers is a cool looking hunk of steel, for sure, and I've never seen anything like it. Not sure how the handling would be with the big wheels and all. Here's a pic of one of the most popular low profile delta style trikes, the Hase Kettwiesel from

Hi Geoff, I agree. Somewhat unnerving when I am waiting at a light and big truck / SUV pulls up on my left and the driver can't even see me or the trike other than my flag out his passenger side window. I am thinking about getting another flag and placing it more forward. Yesterday I was in a

Thanks, Geoff -- it looks fun. I've no particular desire for a recumbent, three or two wheeled, but I've long wanted an old fashioned British trike -- can't say why, unless it's the same inclination that has me riding fixed gears. One advantage of the upright is that it is as visible in traffic as

I ride a Catrike Expedition, CTE1610, a tadpole style with 20 font wheels and a 26 rear. 9 speed triple crank w/ disc brakes and Schwalbe Marathon Racers. Trikes are a lot of fun with very quick, tight steering and the smaller diameter wheels allow you to experience pavement irregularities

Patrick, My ICE is 35 pounds or so. Given the heavier seat and frame on a tadpole, I'd say the advertised weight for your Delta is plausible.Tim On Fri, Sep 16, 2011 at 7:46 PM, PATRICK MOORE bertin...@gmail.com wrote: Thanks for all the replies. My possible trike is a Ken Rogers Delta

Good to know that mine is (or may well be) lighter than yours. Seriously, thanks -- at least it shows that an upright does not necessarily come with a huge weight penalty. I am enjoying the very basic but now upgeared Worksman immensely even though it is a real barking dog of a dog: I would not be
