Nick,

arrange a courier pick up via interparcel.com

they act as agents for all the hi-brow couriers, £12 insured o/n by DHL is about the right price mate !!

BTW: Where there any other pics on the sale ?

Ah mate,

I spoke to the seller for about 30mins on the phone. He had it listed already. Started off at £250 and had 2 bids on it already! I offered him a deal to end early and he changed the listing to what you see. I didnt realise that the revised listing only shows 1 pic. I have seen all of the pics and it looks spot on. TOTALLY NOS!

The bloke knows nothing about BMX. His Dad worked for the owner and the owner gave his Dad 2 frames. One for each son. His eldest brother lost his years ago. He kept his in the loft at his Mums as he was too small to ride it. The frame and forks have never been built. He discovered it the other day. The only research he did was on BMXMUSEUM.com.

It was interesting to find out that the TRM was not named after a 'totally radical machine'. It was infact a bmx mag that named it that. The owner Tom R Morgan sent f+f's to a few mags bitd and they came up with that! MAD FACT.

They also did only weld up 1000 sets. Thats true.

Im overjoyed as it must be the only NOS one out there! :smitten:

Mad story though aint it!

I deal with blaggers everyday and i am a good judge when it comes to billy bull shitters on the phone! The bloke was telling me stories about what company now trades at the place where they made the frames, stories about the owner and his wife etc.

I checked out myself what company trades from the address where they made the TRM's myself and i know there is a car shop there and he was 100% accurate! I got the address from the bottom of one of their (TRM's) advertisements in an old  mag. Talk about anal!

I just hope it dont turn up today battered! He said there was a bit of orange rust on the top of the forks but it turned out it was on the thread not the chrome so that should come off easy peesy.  Its never been polished so i hope its spot on. I will get pics up when it arrives.  :daumenhoch:
