Greenspeed Magnums have arrived at Gold Country Cyclery

ricksteele — Thu, 01 Mar 2012 00:23:00 +0000

NEW for 2012 Greenspeed’s first tadpole trike with an aluminum frame, and a seat which adjusts for height and angle. This is a very refined, yet rugged trike, with 20″ wheels and rider limit of 400 lbs. This trike is also a folder that fits in the same carton the smaller GT1 is shipped in. With the fatter tires, and wide ratio gearing, this tadpole could be used on some non-paved paths. Our retail price will be $2990. We have red and blue Magnums. First shipment was limited so if you wish to reserve one please call (530)-676-3305. Complete details click on: MORE.

Gold Country Cyclery has been serving the greater Sacramento area since 1999, and have been selling Greenspeed Trikes for 12 years. We know them inside and out. We can save you on lower sales taxes and can price match or beat any dealer offering the same product. See us first as we are the experts!

Greenspeed Magnum Trike Update

I will post again once we have them in the shop.

Deal of the Week - Rans Trizard Trike $1800.00

ricksteele — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 22:41:48 +0000

We have our floor trike on sale. It will fit xseams to 45″ and shorter.

Low slung delta style trike or long wheelbase lowracer trike? This baby is fast!

This rear shot gives a glimpse of the rear drive as well as the seat recline braces that allow a good range of adjustment. The single rear drive wheel works well in this laid-back configuration. What I would like to see is more gear inches at the top end as both a customer and I have been able to spin it out as it is. It seems effortless to accelerate this trike and climbing is no problem. Stopping is quick with the rear wheel Tektro mechanical disc brakes.

I’ve had opportunities to ride other delta style trikes, but this is the first one that has ever impressed me and to take another look at this configuration vs. the tadpole style (two wheels upfront) that I have preferred till now. The low seat height and long wheelbase makes the Trizard very stable keeping the inside wheel down in corners.

The Trizard spec weight is 39.8 lbs which is in the range of many tadpole and other lightweight delta trikes. Current Retail price is $2,800.00. Our sale price is $1,800 (save big).

Don’t let this one get away!
