    Fresh rumor from Jan-Inge Ljungberg who manages the swedish HPV-page:

    "Polska Velokraft är på gång med en trike i kolfiber. Priset för trikeramen med styrning kommer att
    landa på ca 1300 euro. Sitsen som är fast på prototypen kommer att vara justerbar på
    produktionscykeln. Möjlighet finns att beställa tailbox i glas/kolfiber på 80-100l. Vikt kring 16
    kg. Triken kommer att vara i produktion till hösten. Styrningen kommer att vara ledad och kan
    svängas framåt för att underlätta insteg. Titta på Trikebilden. (4/7 03)"

    "Polish Velokraft is designing a trike in carbonfiber. Price for the frame plus steering doowah will
    be approximately 1300 euro. The seat thats fixed on the prototype will be adjustable on the
    production model. Tailbox in glass-/carbonfiber can also be ordered. 80-100 liters. Weight around 16
    kg. Trike will enter production around fall. Handlebars will tilt forward to make entry easier.
    Picture here." liggister.orgTrikeSide1sm.jpg

    To that let me just add that since it says "Magnus" on the frame its probably Jarek Baranowski in
    Warsaw that designed it. I dunno if they have joined forces so that Velokraft will sell it.

    It is a bit on the heavy side isn't it?

    Yea it does seem to be. I only know what I copied off the swedish webpage tho. Having drumbrakehubs
    doesn't help though. Those puppies are heavy.

    The over seat steering will not help either, it looks like a lot of bracing is needed under the
    front of the frame to handle the stresses there. A Catrike is 13-14 kilo's.

    What no Coffee Cup Holders? Hope Mini-Discs would be a nice (lower weight touch)....I see a Tadpole
    like THIS and am more convinced I should look into becoming a Farmer as a career move...re: it would
    be very hard for me to top that Trike design. Maybe we should get Fast Freddy into doing CalFee CF
    Trikes on this side of the pond.

    Mikael thanks for this link and ya'll keep all those new bikes/trikes info links coming. Always nice
    to see what the Euro-Bent market is up to.

    I think they did a Frankenstein (pronounced Fronkensteen) on his Magnus Jet.

    Rims look like Airline-1 so not the lightest either. Think it has rearsuspension tho.

    Quoted message said:

    Earlier this year I asked in several places about the Go-One trike: in person, on the phone, a few
    places on line, including a.r.b.r. I had the money and was ready to buy a Go-One3 so I could put a
    cupholder in it. All the hooplah, shows/events in 3 state, then a TV show.

    That did it; no Go-One (snooze- you lose!) . Got 3 trikes instead- for the price of 1 Go-One, so now
    I can choose which one I want the cupholder in.
