As for trispokes, I have a specialized trispoke on the front of one of my fixies and for the most part, I do like how it looks and I get a lot of compliments from non-cyclists. For the most part "real" cyclists love to hate on unnecessary parts that only serve to look "cool". But whatever, if you like it go for it. I got mine for free from a friend which is the only way id ever have one. I wouldn't be willing to spend any money on it otherwise
