old thread resurrection... that's my bike in the article. still running strong; now going into it's 5th season. brilliant design, shame about aaron's dubious business practices - he had some great ideas, and pretty impressive carbon manipulation skills. hoping zerode can make a go of their...

had a set on my trimble as well (seemed to be a popular combination for some reason). didn't really work that great - were laterally flexy & the elastomers age hardened rather quickly, leaving minimal travel. the disc brake worked pretty well though (for the time). migrated to my cruiser...

interesting that the era spawns the nostalgia that it does. the canadian content does it for me, as the local scene was exciting & for a time, leading edge. we had (well, still have) some of the knarliest trails on the planet, and the local manufacturers were stepping up to produce appropriate...

love the toad & brodie. tasty fillet brazed local steel. i'm guessing you've already received a plethora of 'if you ever think about selling' pm's...

severed & area is still intact. the hell of the north ran down there one year; great course. the brodie t.o.m. was indeed a sweet race as well, as was the original roach race in coquitlam. the mosquito 500 & vanier park were fun little events, too. and how about hornby bike fest - classic! ahh...

love to see that toad & brodie as well. huge fan of the early fillet brazed local steel & have been looking for an elusive fillet toad forever. i raced in vancouver back in the day; was a pretty cool scene. granted, i never stopped riding, it just seemed like a special time - with the plethora...

someone nabbed it before me, it seems.

it's an avalanche (circa '88 i think). they were a step down from the top end blizzard & thunderbolt, but still a decent bike for the price. might have to check it out...

i picked one up recently. rough cosmetically, and a huge size, but it was cheap. current plans involve stripping it (the paint is beyond salvaging) and turning it into a fixie type road thing.

no. here's mine (old pic; i'll take one of the crack when i get a chance). it's led a long, hard life & still holds a special place in my heart. this was actually trimble #2 for me, as i cracked the first one & brent shipped me back a different (yet not new) frame on warranty:

my '70 typhoon. a random mix of old & new mtb & bmx bits adding up to a fun coffee cruiser:

i've got an old trimble kicking about that i've had since almost new that was retired because of a crack at the seatmast/rear stay junction (propagated by the brake cable scoring the composite). i've heard lots of comments re: the repairability of composite structures, and am wondering if anyone...
