Replacing some frame parts on my TRM freestyler ? (now with PICS)

<< < (2/3) > >>

kowalski:
sounds fooked to me and they are common as muck,
as a favour to you i will take it off your hands and dispose of it in the correct manor :LolLolLolLol:

Mattdub:
If it's the rear chain or seat stay thats dented the best way is to have someone weld fill it and grind back to finish  ;)

Its an TRM Freestyler....

Its not the crank case thats split its the bearing housings them selves- they can be knocked out and replaced- the chap who replaced them years ago said that over tightening the crank was splitting them because the internal of the crank case had worn oval????? ( a bit far fetched but hey ho )

If I decide to give it a total refurb I shall investigate anyway....

Pics coming shortley.



As for being fooked and common as muck- maybe in the early 90's I remember seeing 1.... lol... But I get the joke.

Here she is.. in all here (slightly in need of some attention) glory- has been this way since the late 90's- last used about 2 years ago.

Originally when I first got her (circa 92' for £5.00) she had red skyways with green tyres, all the other bits apart from the chain wheel were red- I'd like to put her back this way - are green tyres available??? lol

I reckon she wants.
Grips
Brake pads/cables
Re chroming
New chain
New wheels- either new red mags or new spoked rear.
New tyres
New Seat
New pedals
All bearings replaced.
Chain wheel
Attention to the crank.




The dent?


Front forks


Cheers

bof:
New bottom brackets are cheap, less than a tenner at halfords and also a piece of pish to fit. Oh and by the way that is what  is commonly known as a survivor and its nice as fook. ;D but if you want to restore it using  NOS parts and a rechrome which is possible although the stickers will be a real bitch to find but will be worth it in the end, it will just cost you quite a bit of money. :daumenhoch: so good luck and happy searching for parts. :LolLolLolLol:
