Right then....
I was toying with the idea of selling mine as I dont use it since I got told off for riding it on the ramps at creation - PLEASE NOTE IT IS NOT FOR SALE - after a few chats at Corby and Creation I am happy to keep it- thanks to Meddle, Pickle and Raarman amongst others.
So I was wondering- who owns 1 or 2?? - Lets see how many there are on here..
What condition?
Pics?
How long you owned??
What dya pay for it???
What do you know about them??
Wanna do anything to it.
Heres mine- after sitting in the back garden for 10 years

Outside bucks palace
(http://www.radbmx.co.uk/archive/albums/v206/shings/buckpalaceme.jpg)
Its in good useable and servicable condition after a recent rebuild - she did 14 odd miles for Children in Need.
I've had it since around 1991 and paid £5 for it from an older mate who wanted a few beers.
Untill I came on here I didn't even know what it was called.
When I got it she had Red skyways with green tyres and red MX1000's with green cables- I plan to make it like this later in the year as its how it was.. I also need to replace the seat as it is fubar'd...
All yours peeps....

I've got one in chrome in excellent condition. I paid £150 for it about 4 years ago but that was with a few other bits.
-

I used to have a White one it belongs to marty dibble now.

They were built in birmingham, stirchly i think and the TRM stood for 'Totally Radical Machine' or something just a dubious.
They were available in chrome and white only and are pretty hard to find nowadays. They used to sposor a rider who became the world front hopping champion Paul Heyfron (remember him?)
-
Thought there were more colour options than that??

Is his name Marty Dibble? I used to go to school with a bloke with that name, he used to live in Harmondsworth dunno if it's the same bloke but Don't remember him being into BMX bitd.
-
Were made by a mate of my old man called Tony 'Potter' Peach from Kingshurst in Brum. Stetchford Cycles used them for their factory team, may have even commisoned them, can t remember. Couple of my mucca's raced for Stetchford Cycles on them, Steve Bell and Derek Owen. Both won a load of nationals and Derek won the Brits in 84 on one. Ten a penny round Solihull in late eighties. Never like them personally. P!sser for pads at a time where you could get arrested for not having them on the track. Remember Heff well, from Worcester, mate of Rich Holland, bandana always tied round his neck, sure that we the fella. Front hops very under rated trick.

AS IF
I live in Kingshurst!!!!!
-
Well more like Smiths Wood/Kingshurst. Lived in area behind the Toby Jug. Didnt make them there, made them in a unit in Gravelly Hill originally. He used to make a few replica GTs in the early days, a few of us from the Chelmsley Eagles had them. He then did a design for the TRM and sarted a production run. Derek Owen had one of the first prototypes and so did Tonys son Kelvin. Were you one of Arthur Curtis's Kinghurst Flyers Shings?
-
No his username on here is Marty Dibble I think his real name is Phil Mccrack :laugh:
bodamus :)
-
Yeah, coming to think of it must have all been a bad dream. Thats what living in Chelmsley Wood for 35 years does to ya! :uglystupid2:
-
I got three. One has LG's on tho after a shite drop out years back. It's always been my favourite frame, fantastic geometry - very well balanced. I wheelied one for over two miles in 85 for charidee. Here's the ad from 84'

Nah- I am too young, only 27. I remember going over to the BMX track by Simon Digby School/ The Labour Club when I was well young... My Dad knows a lady who live behind the Toby might have a word.
As for Chelmsley wood.... tell me about it- I went to Archbishop Grimshaw.. I cant believe I used to ride it to school in the 90's and NEVER EVER locked it up at school
-
I went to Grimshaw too Shings, left in 85' before you started. No fence when I was there mate, the 3 trees and Bosworth chippy a piece of p!ss back then, happy days.
