Title: Bike ID...
Post by: beard1973 on August 20, 2006, 03:28 PM: I had a small bid on this myself..

It may have been brought up on here earlier, so I apologise... but what is it...??

I can see Harris has won it... Well Done.. But what has he brought?

One can always hope :)

Looks a real solid freestyle frame though regardless of manufacturer.

Post by: duncan on August 20, 2006, 04:52 PM: The listing says it has trick nits,
Personally I think you should let the fleas retire, they've done well up to now, pulling circus tricks since the 80's.

Dx's there I see, Shimano or Victor, that is the question.

Post by: duncan on August 20, 2006, 09:09 PM: I thought I saw what looked to be a Reynolds sticker on the toptube by the headtube.
Were they made by TRM? Obviously very influenced by the design.
