Hey Greg, don't diss the TRM! At least they had the nuts to try something different! ;)

Here is mine:

i remember seeing these bitd with laybacks fitted in reverse.

i think the fox fourstyler had a different seat tube angle.

The only diff i can see in the fox four and the TRM is the gusseting on the top tube.

I would like one if anyone can find me one ;)

I think that some may have thought that those are cruiser bars on that TRM, hence the high bids???

However I think that they maybe dissapointed if so because they are probably expert or junior VDC bars. Which does make them rarer than pro bars. But they would look odd on a cruiser.

just my 2p  ;)

Tim at Tricky Bikes used to have a baby blue one of those - I think he got it from Andy (streetbeat).

He sold it as a complete bike from the shop.

There are a few other similar designs kicking about too - all from the same jig I would guess.

I think Mr Bling Crosby had pics of them all, they were on the Firebird thread.

I had them all saved to my old work PC, that got a bit flooded.

Hey Orb,

Where did you get those pics from?? The top and bottom one are my bike!

The top one was when it was on ebay about 4 yrs or so ago.....the 2nd one is from the guy I bought it off I think.

He got it from the ebay fella after it hadn't sold....he had a few bits off it and sold the bike to me - it took him a while to get the seatpost out I believe.

He had a nice Gen 1 Haro too.
