<< < (3/6) > >>

MartyC:
Nice one Gra, looks much better in white than the green, must have been a burner rider that owned it before  :LolLolLolLol:

A replica build of your bike from bitd is deffo worth doing and to me brings the most satisfaction, top job  :daumenhoch:

What made you decide to build it as NOS? and not after you modded it?

i pondered upon this one too.
although i have built it as it was new, after MK i will rebuild it to the spec how i rode it.
basically the same but with alloys, pink o-wings (not hopeful at finding them) white tyres and GT wheel discs ;)

i built it as "new" so i would get that xmas day look.

i could do with another, to go balls out with all the quality components of the day.

i have seen that one on the bay, but 250 start with reserve not met is sadly out of my price range.
the one on the bay is the ONLY other one i have ever seen, in the last 20 years. other than the ones in freestyle magazine when they tested them. to be honest i think MT racing went bump not long after making this bike. lol.

i'd like to think that there are some others kicking around, but i think mine is one of the only 2 left in the world.

--- End quote ---

it has very different geometry to the trm, although a similar shape. the front end is super strong!
the trm was a bit poorly thought out, angle wise iirc.
cool looking though and i would love to add a trm to my collection now

I have seen another Fox a while back on VBMX, blue I think, had a nibble at getting it but no luck :(
I had a couple of TRMs bitd, to be honest they were awful to ride, lazy steering & shocking forks (one dropout torn in half the other hairline crack, close shave!)
But I,m from Bham so they were cheap & everywhere, hence two owned!
Your Fox shows what could have been done.... :)

daz bmx it!:
I was gonna buy that off ebay ::) but noticed the name of the bidder(s) and did,nt want to bid it up, glad you got it in the end and have done it real justice,stories like that are pure Bmx  :daumenhoch:
