TRM Freestyler database??

(1/4) > >>

80sBMXer:
Now I have finally got the bike of my dreams(White TRM freestyler)  I was thinking of getting an unofficial database together with some form of numbering system to keep track of the known TRM bikes , colour , location etc if your interested , hopefully people won't keep their one a secret.

Incidentally Derrick Owens (1984 national champion on a TRM freestyler aged 12) recently sold a wreck for £515 on ebay , he still has his winning bike in his mums loft !! although it's NOT FOR SALE
This he says was the 2nd off the production line

so his will be TRM #2

I am going to get as much of the TRM story collated and will happily share with my findings with RADBMX after I get in touch with the family who still live less than a mile from me!

I have recently dug out my old BMX bike and have had it re-chromed, it was hanging on the wall in my Mums shed for 24yrs, I thought it had gone long ago.

It is as a TRM race frame(prototype)made in about 1984,to my knowledge it is the only one in existance

I was best mates and went to school with the son of the owner of stechford cycles who as you probably know were the sole supplier of the TRM freestyler.(?_)

This bike was raced by his older brother (both brothers rode for the stechford cycles team) and I paid £40 for it in 1984 ish

The bike came with a unique 3 part pad set which is in pretty poor condition but i have kept it as  you can clearly see the TRM techniques logo.(spelt wrong TECHNICS)

I will get some pics up for you soon.

I also am trying to locate an original trm padset so that some reproductions can be produced, As i said earlier I have a padset which I assume the STEM pad is the same, but without seeing original couldn't be 100%

thanks for looking , sorry for gobbledeegook but have been lazy and copied and pasted some previous threads ;) any help appreciated
