Can anyone tell me any info about this tricycle please? ☺️

Clearer pictures of the frame decals & details and the headtube badge would help.

Does this help?

I guess it's from Barron Cycles, been around since the 80's.

Do you know if they are worth much?

Frame material is Reynolds 531. Can't tell what size wheels. Perhaps OP could tell us what size markings are on the front tyre. Got to be a half decent barra!!!

Barron was formed in 1980, so its 41 at the oldest. From what little detailmis visoble my gut call is early 80's.

Im no authority on trikes, and the market demand is somewhat limited. By somewhat I actually mean extremely. Nevertheless, its a reasonable quality frame and looks in generally good order. Put some tyres on it and a nice seat and it might be worth in the £250 range, but that's totally dependent on finding a buyer in what is a very niche market segment.

Conversely, if the seat post is seized in the frame itll be worth more broken for parts.

Brilliant! Thank you for your reply 😊 I am clueless! I have it on eBay and it’s currently on £187 but I received a message saying I was underselling myself so wanted more opinions.

It would have had many a 'campaign for real ale' drunk cyclist riding it home from the pub over the years...

 

[meganx97]

Hahahahah brilliant, made us laugh!

Isn't @raleighnut a bit of a three wheel enthusiast?
I'm sure someone will be up for it but as @Drago says it's a very limited market and you might wait a while.

Fantastic information.

Not seen one for years. We had a bloke in the club trained on one in the winter. They were never cheap, even donkeys years ago and that one is a decent frame as has already been spotted by others. Even in that condition someone would pay a few bob for it but folks that ride those through choice are few and far between.

Riding them is an art in itself. I've tried and finished up in someone's garden!
I never quite got the gang of it but you have to lean in the opposite direction to what you do on a two wheeler.
Wifey has a 20'' wheel Pashley trike. She whizzes all over on it. She frightens me.
