Frame
All custom Trice frames are
made to order by us in our own workshops
using ICE custom made lugs. All frame
joints are super smooth brazed. All
frames have detail braze ons for cable
guides and other mounts as required.
All of our main tubes are made from
aircraft grade certificated
BS4T45 Carbon Manganese steel tube.
All other steel tubing on a custom Trice is Columbus
Cro-Mo. The main frame spar and, where
needed, cross axles are formed in house
using our own tube bending machine.
For those in the know, we use internal
ball mandrels and external formers with
wiper dies to obtain the best quality
smooth bends without wrinkles in the
thin wall tubes. |

Frameset
Only
If
you wish to build up your custom Trice with
your own choice of components or perhaps
use some drive train parts you already
have then we can supply a custom frameset only.
In general a custom frameset consists of all
the non standard bicycle parts that
you could not easily obtain from a good
local bike shop. We supply items such
as frame, seat, front wheels built (not
including disc brakes), all steering
parts ready assembled etc. For a full
list of what you would need to complete
a frameset,

Narrower Track
Some custom Trice models
are available with a Narrow track
option (see price list for each model
type to check availability).
Narrow track is not as ultimately
stable as standard track though on
the open road it rarely limits the
performance and can be more practical
for some owners. All trikes have a
limit at which they will lift an inside
wheel if turned deliberately hard
enough into a corner. The key is learning
the limit for each particular trike.
If a Trice starts to lift a wheel,
it tends to do so slowly and the rider
can simply straighten up a little
(or lean more) and the wheel will drop back down
again. In general, we find that ultimate
stability need not be the prime consideration
when deciding on the narrow track
option. Practicality is the main advantage
especially when transporting and storing.
Larger customers should be aware that
the narrow track does limit cockpit
space.
For a comparison
between models, please see our ICE
stability index in the buyers
guide.

Rear
Suspension
Available as an option on all Trice Custom models
with 18" and 20" rear wheels. ICE's rear
suspension has almost 3" (75mm) of travel
which gives a very smooth ride. Computer
designed geometry ensures that there is no
reaction to pedal pressure and no energy-sapping bobbing from the
back end when climbing hills. A lightweight
and adjustable air shock allows the
perfect ride height no matter what load
you are carrying. A rack
cantilevered off the back of the
seat is available for each custom Trice fitted
with rear suspension. This keeps the
sprung weight to a minimum and ensures
the suspension works at all times. |

Custom
Frame Option
The frame
for each model of custom Trice will suit
a remarkably wide range of riders.
We can also select tubes from our
extensive range of T45 tubing to tailor
the frame to suit you and your needs
perfectly. For example this can give
a lighter frame and a comfier ride
for light riders, or a stiffer frame
giving better power transfer and control
to larger riders.
Please state your height, weight and X-seam especially if over 18st
(252lbs, 115Kg) or taller than 6'2"
(1.88m). |

Rear
Dynamo Mount
Optional Rear dynamo
mount: braze on + stainless steel mount.
Normally fitted on the left side of
the trike above the seat stay and requires
a right handed dynamo.
The mount offers plenty of adjustment
to mount any dynamo and it can be removed
with the dynamo attached making refitting
the dynamo easy. |

Extra
Set of Bottle Bosses
Brazed on
under the front boom. Custom Trice with a mesh
fabric seat have two sets of bosses
on the main frame as standard, one set
on the front of the cruciform ahead
of the cross axle and one set on the
main frame under the seat on the left
side. Custom Trice with a carbon composite seat have
the same set on the front cruciform
and two mounting points built into each
side of the seat. All custom Trice also
have a further set of bottle bosses
fitted on the front derailleur tube
which can be used for a bottle cage
or more normally for the ICE optional front light mount. |

Braze
ons
All custom Trice frames
come with an extensive selection of
braze ons for cable guides and bottle
cage mounts. Because the frame
is custom built, many types of special
braze ons can also be ordered. Please
ask if you have a particular accessory
you would like to fit or a feature
you would like.
Here you can see
the optional braze ons for a Streamer
front fairing which allow the fairing
to be fitted in a neater fashion on
the custom Trice range. |

Parking
brake
All custom Trice have
a parking brake on the back wheel as
standard. We think a parking brake is essential.
The parking brake on a custom Trice is operated by a lever on
the handle bar. This V-brake
can also be used as a drag brake though
rarely necessary on the single seater
trikes.
The Tandems have a V-brake on the back
wheel generally used as a parking brake.
The parking brake is very powerful and
will easily hold you and the trike when
fully loaded on a hill - a useful feature
if you want to pause for a rest or take
a photo. The parking brake also makes
getting on and off the trike easier
because the trike will not roll away
when you try to sit down or get up. |

Transport
ALL
ICE trikes can be separated into smaller
parts as standard to facilitate journeys
by plane, car or train. The seat can
be removed easily and quickly. A standard
cycle rack can be used to carry your
Trice on the back of most
cars, or it can be carried on the
roof.
The ICE tandems can be simply split
in the middle for easier transport
or storage. They can also be broken
down into many pieces if required. The
tandems come with cable joiners so that
standard length gear and brake cables
can be used and re joining after splitting
is simple. |

Easy
repair and maintenance
The
Trice uses as many standard cycle parts
as possible which helps make maintenance
inexpensive and straight forward.
For example standard bicycle headsets
are used for the front wheel pivots.
These head sets are of top quality.
On the custom Trice we use the Stronglight
A9 1" which is very light weight
and has needle roller bearings with
seals top and bottom. |

Seat
The tubular
aluminium seat with mesh fabric gives
excellent comfort and ventilation.
The fabric is laced onto the aluminium
seat frame with adjustable straps.
The seat is clamped onto the main
frame and can be removed easily and
quickly for transport. Over 15 degrees
of seat angle adjustment is possible
on all Trice models.
Every point of contact
between the rider and the machine
is adjustable. The distance to the
pedals, the seat fabric tension for
lumbar and shoulder support, the seat
recline angle and the reach and width
of the handlebars can all be easily
fine tuned by you to your preference. |

Disc
brakes
Cable operated
disc brakes are now fitted as standard
equipment to the front wheels on all
custom Trice models. These give immense stopping
power. Both the disc and calliper
mounting points are international
standard, so if you ever wish to change
the brakes, you will have no problem
finding alternatives. The front hubs
are custom CNC-machined and have a
low profile which helps keep the overall
width of the custom Trice to a minimum. Drum brakes are also available as an option on custom Trice.

Chain
Tubes
The chain on a Trice runs through a
tough and slippery tube over almost
its complete length. This helps keep
the oil on the chain by protecting it
from rain and dirt, prolonging chain
life. The tubes also help keep you and
your Trice clean. The durable pulley
and Chain tubes can now be removed from
the frame for easy cleaning by undoing
just one bolt.

Gear
Shifters
The custom Trice models are
fitted with Shimano Dura-Ace Bar end shifters as standard
because they are the most reliable and durable gear
shifters available and they work extremely
well on the Trice. |

Steering
geometry
In Cornwall England,
where we live, ride and manufacture
the Trice the terrain is hilly. We have
miles of quiet twisting lanes, consequently
we have developed steering geometry
that gives the Trice amazing handling
at any speed. We have also eliminated
any influence from braking on the steering
controls. Now you can stop using just
one front brake without any need to
correct for brake steer. If you find
this hard to believe, just take a ride! Read more here. |

Tyres
We
fit Schwalbe tyres as standard on
the custom Trice. Depending on the model
we choose from:-
Stelvio, 1.125" (28 mm) a super light
weight sports tyre with a dual compound
semi slick tread, Kevlar belted for
puncture protection.
Marathon Slick,
1.35" (35 mm) a light weight sports
tyre with a dual compound semi slick
tread, Kevlar belted for puncture
protection.
Marathon1.5"
(40 mm) a tough touring tyre with
a good tread, Kevlar belted for puncture
protection.
Big Apple
2.0" (50 mm) a big, smooth rolling tyre for
soaking up the bumps.
ICE always has good stocks of all
these tyres and we can ship them anywhere
in the world. If you would like to
swap to a different Schwalbe tyre
from the one shown in the spec, then
please feel free to ask when ordering
your custom Trice. |
