Get you own $850 trike!

Cycling News: Litespeed.

[F]or the toddler who has everything, Litespeed has re-issued the titanium tricycle. Originally released in 1997, Litespeed claims the wee trikes have become collector's items, with eager mums and dads willing to pay over US$1000 for an original.

Starting in March, however, the 2003 edition trike comes in at US$850. It's made from 3/2.5 and 6/4 titanium, with new compact geometry, CNC-engraved and anodized aluminum fork rolling on a Cane Creek C2 headset. Could your kid want more?

These used to be hot items for the Litespeed crowd. Many bikeshops actually had them in stock so that the employees could race around the store on them.
