Looks cool!  but what came first....that or the TRM?

I've never seen one before!  :shocked:
Title: Re: thanks to steve p
Post by: theRuler on March 21, 2007, 10:49 AM
the trm was first

but the theory of the way the tubes meet was copied from the quadangle

it is aledgedly stronger than the conventional method

this is different to the trm. note the angle of the seattube. and the headtube. it's a different setup altogether
the trm was more burner-angled

Well we wouldn't want to accosiate oursleves with 'Burner angles' now would we!  ;)

a lot of bikes were burner angled back then.

it was just the era. i think a lot of bikes were designed by people who didn't ride them

the trm was a good bike though, and a few people did ride them, and ride them well.
they were well built iirc with the best tubing

printed on clear, but strangely

Nice one Graeme ... I'm pleased the decals worked out okay and look forward to seeing the bike built up now  :coolsmiley:

are the decals cut, or printed on clear?

I used "dry rub off" decal paper which is available in both white or clear and supplied in a two sheet kit ... it's cheap to buy on eBay too

The image is reverse printed on the underside of the 1st sheet and sealed by applying the 2nd which is a very thin double sided layer. Once applied the decal is totally water proof

Thanks for all the positive comments too guys  :daumenhoch:
