Title: TRM's + VDC's
Post by: Swivel on January 19, 2009, 06:44 PM

How many do you think there are in existence? Both seem limited in numbers and there ain't many in the museum. I know there was only 1000 made of TRM but how about VDC? Anyone know the amount that was made  ???

Seems a lot are in the states (see pic below from bmx museum  :D )

Both framesets give me the horn, but I think it could be good to get a registry setup for them especially as they are in limited supply?

Cheers,

Matt  :daumenhoch:

Never been a big lover of VDC's but do appreciate them, however my thoughts on this new thing (cannot call it a bike) is:

1)  If Voris Dixon designed this monstrosity then there is no way he designed the original, someone else must have done it and he just stole the idea and put his name to it.
2)  He is senile.
