Title: Fancied a change :-)
Post by: ED209 on November 02, 2015, 05:31 PM: I get bored with the same old bike so the Subrosa has been retired ... Lenny Lentini has it on perma-Loan.

So thanks to Len I now have a raw Proper 21" Trawlerman ... hoping to get it built up for a ride tonight.

Pics to follow :daumenhoch:

How did it feel compared to the Sabrosa?

Dull ... it was Jol's fault ... I was thinking of stripping the Subrosa and he came out with 'why waste your time on that frame get a decent frame ... get the Proper Trawlerman ... all the right angles for your riding'

Turns out all the fooking angles were almost exactly like the Subrosa ::) so all I was doing was riding somthing that looked more boringer.

I was going to stick one on my Daughter's ride, might put a couple of LLP bands round the bars or something as backup :daumenhoch:

Post by: BMX1973 on July 09, 2016, 08:54 AM: Always liked these raw finish frames, but told the welds rust easily!

Is this true?
Title: Re: Fancied a change :-)
Post by: fugazi on July 10, 2016, 11:24 AM: Raw frames will rust all over if it's not protected in any way. Most come with a clearcoat to slow it down :daumenhoch:
