1.0 Introduction.
Congratulations on being a new ICE B1 owner. You have purchased one of the finest, most refined recumbent
bicycle available today; we hope it brings you many years of enjoyment.
This manual has been written to help you set up and use your bike. Recumbent bikes may be a little different
from the cycles you are familiar with, so please take a moment to read through this document. You will find the
latest version of this manual in a download-able PDF format on our website.
Throughout the manual, we have included some Tips, which have been learned from over 20 years of experience
building cycles. They are well worth taking special note of.
We hope you enjoy owning and riding your ICE B1 as much as we like making these great machines.
