Title: tuff titty
Post by: Rombloke on September 24, 2007, 06:52 PM: so, billy picked an old tuff up from 'shings' at epic the other week for me, to go with the orphan front that i have had knocking about for about 18 months,
for the princley sum of 25 quid....(remind me sunday bill)...billy dropped the wheel of last night looking like this

so stripped the axle out last night, and plonked its sorry arse in bleach to clean it up a bit, dragged it out this afternoon, jetwashed it, gave the rims a bit of a scrape to remove the brake pad residue, hit all the surfaces with 600 grit wet and dry, the gave em a liberal coat of the tuff wheels favorite...wd40

happy.....yes....
nice set of red tuffs for a pony

Could part the rest of it out and get your wheels for nothing.

Post by: Shings on September 25, 2007, 08:15 PM: ROM- as said on PM I would rather someone took use of my old junk as it would have ended up being chucked if you hadn't pm'd me first ( just ahead of 2020mad lol ) I'm glad you'll get enjoyment or a profit from it- looks good mate.

Its a TRM ( Totaly Radical Machine ) Freestyler and was made in 1984 by Stechford Cycles in Birmingham.
I understand they made 1000 max.
( from what I have worked out from talking to people. )

As already stated you are possibly the 10th person to ask- not for sale I am afraid.. shes mine for ever as far as I am concerned as shes mine from BITD lol

Title: Re: tuff titty
Post by: bmxmatt1974 on September 25, 2007, 08:30 PM: just pull the bars back a bit too :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: tuff titty
Post by: Shings on September 25, 2007, 08:33 PM: I missed a seat the other day for £28 I thought it was gonna go for loads more+ the grips I got off Ebay are SHITE.

So if you can recomend anywhere I can get either I'd be great full.

Bars are already back a bit courtesy of Bob while I was at Epic.
