Sorry, I missed the non hot linked ref to the image on Flikr. Definately
not 
a MASA. Modern trikes are amazing vehicles. My ICE QNT is quite dependable

and the most relaxed pleasurable ride I ever owned, and my past stable 
included a Raleigh Grand Prix, Raleigh Super-Tourer a Raleigh ****tage, a 
Schwinn Super S****t SP frame turned into a Campi-Japanolo bike, a 
Diamondback Ridgerunner, a Proflex 856, and RANS V-Rex. I also own an
HPVelo 
Speedmachine, an Earthcycles Sunset and the ICE QNT.
