Wally Watkins TRM tribute build *FINISHED*

<< < (8/9) > >>

Ady:
Shocked by how light they are compared too new schools which are around 26 Ibs which they need to be nowadays.
The old school wouldn’t last two minutes with today’s abuse.
Just looking through an old mag Cherrypicker gifted me.
The TRM was 6.1 Ibs the same weight as a pk Ripper.
The Skyway TA was the lightest weighting 5.12 Ibs
Checkout the prices  :LolLolLolLol:
The Quadangle was super pricey

NORTY40:
Great thread Ady , enjoyed reading that from start to finish  :daumenhoch:

Its good to see RADsters doing the resto work instead of going out buying new/mint parts or paying other professionals to do it for you . You done good mate  :coolsmiley:

Both builds scream 80's BMX  :daumenhoch:

Another rad build Ady.
I see a Shane Taylor mentioned in some of the later comments- in our Cardiff Over 40's crew that ride regulary we have a Shane Taylor who still rides his Gt from back in the day. Chrome with yellow tuffs. About 50 so could be the same guy.
Surprised our paths never crossed back in the 80's as I was local to the shops Tom Martin and Dragon Wheels in Cardiff.

Great story, great resto, great build.... Nice one  :daumenhoch:
