hello people ive just got a trm freestyler f/f and wanted to no did they do a factory built bike and if so anyone got any picks many thanks mike :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:

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
-
dunno if its factory spec but theres pics of one in the bike test in freestyle bmx june 1984

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! :daumenhoch:

my yellow one is on ebay at the moment

nice ride but slightly out of my price range at the mo with splashing out on parts for both my haro masters :(
Good luck with the sale

My mate had one of these bid. I remember if you put the seat up it was a long way to the bars with that tube angle.
-
you dont need a layback unless your 7 foot ;D
-
I had one of these bitd, loved it for a year or so, it was a great unusual design and bullet proof ;) All my mates owned it and it never broke.
Very light as well, only swapped it for a Haro master, that broke after a week :P
Love another, what do they go for these days?
