As far as I know, they were a frame & forks set only, you would get completes built by dealers/shops, but would be a random collection of bits

I've been keeping an eye out for one of these trm bikes, they look a sweet ride, if I'm not mistaken I think they're made from Reynolds 531 tubing like my rebel freestylers. Nice find.

Great find and very lucky to get a set of matching forks for something as rare as that. I tried for 3 months to get some Haro FST forks for a frame I had but gave up in the end and sold it on

Nice one!
