Oh yes! It is BEAUTIFUL. When Bryan Ball over at BROL put his test model up for sale I wanted it SO badly. Alas, no available funds. Still the dream remains and, perhaps one day, there will be a snake trike in my future.

I always got the impression Terratrikes were kind of low end. No?

The Snakeskin is based on the TerraTrike Race. Shimano Integra front derailleur, Sram X.9 rear,Avid brake set and it only weighs 31 lbs. So, I guess it would be like middle-middle.

But that paint job! What a Face

Now THAT'S a rush!

Yep. Components can always be upgraded, but the paint job is the selling point for me. I used to catch rattlesnakes in Palo Duro Canyon in the summers and that trike looks just like them. Some folks find them creepy, I think they're cool. Twisted Evil

Altozwei:

I went to college and lived in Flagstaff. Hiked the Grand Canyon numerous times. Must have averaged seeing a rattlesnake a day.

Fascinating. Very Happy

That trike wouldn't be allowed on my property. My wife is deathly afraid of snakes. In fact we can't even say the word snake in her presence. If a snake must be refered to for some reason we have a "secret code word" we have to use.
