How much would you think a lightweight touring bike with a rack and
mudguards might weigh? How about a recumbent? A recumbent trike?

Would you believe 22.8lb?

Trice had one at Cyclefest, 22.8lb complete with the usual Trice
features such as splittable frame for transport, rack, pretty sure it
had a triple chainring, certainly flag and lamp mounts. Incredible!

Rumour has it that this was a response to Windcheetah building a trike
"under 30lb" and that on a scale of 0 to pig, Bob Dixon was pretty
close to pig sick ;-)

I thought this was old news.
Isn't this the Concept Trice, produced a year ago? Or is it another machine.

A superb piece of engineering.

And like many concept vehicles, not in production :-( And even if it
was, another contributing point to the light weight would be how
effectively it would remove any excess contents from your wallet...

But like many concept vehicles it shows were things are going. An 18lb
road bike was a concept bike/mountain stage special and very fragile only a
few years ago (6-7?) and now such a bike costs about £1500. Maybe less in
a small size.
