I bought my current trike a little over a year and a half ago. It had a few rattles and other shortcomings. My previous bikes took me some time to make them "mine". That is, they became what I wanted them to be and needed nothing except normal maintenance. Now I feel my trike is getting close to what I want and expect. I've chased a few problems, replaced a few fasteners and grommets, and added some bling. It's close to being "done". Feels good..... Jim
