Troika

I also found a Troika a few years ago for a ridiculously low price. We have put around 6500 miles on it and I have done tons of modifications. The first thing I did was to add a pad to the seats. You end up sitting down on the frame otherwise. We used something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Computer-Prov...%2C166&sr=8-15 and I cut the bottom part of the foam so it would sit between the frame rails of the seat. It makes it wonderfully comfortable for all day rides. The next mod I did was to change the steering to direct as opposed to indirect which helped improve the turning radius. After a knee injury, I installed electric assist and independent pedaling as well. The only thing I don't like about ours is that it has drum brakes as opposed to the discs that are on yours. There is no tandem trike I would take over the Troika, including the high end Greenspeed.
