Re: 1992 Trimble for "Scottish B#$%RDS..."

i'm pretty certain the original owner of that Trimble was a member of this site many years ago. It looks very much like it. Gil m has excellent decals for them. An unusual frame number.
Look after it. Not many left

Yeah it was "julianG" who I bought it from (there's a link on the first page to a thread where he posted pic's in 200. The story I got from Julian was that his mate raced for Cook Brothers and the frame was supplied to the team, which could explain the odd frame number. When I get the bike finished I promised to send him some pic's and will ask more about the history then. It's in safe hands I'll take care of it .

Ok so it's been waaaay too long since I updated this thread but the bike is now finished and finally got some decent pic's of it to post. Will hopefully get out for a wee ride in the next couple of days and take some ride pic's too. So without further ado, here it is.

Cheers, i'm pleased with how it looks. Not a pristine resto but once I started working on it I realised that keeping it original was how it needed to be done. Hang on in there i'm sure you'll get one sooner or later

lovely clean build. Somehow the big angular Manitou suits the clean lines of the rest of the bike. Love it.

Thanks, I didn't need to change much really as the bones of a good bike were already there. I'll get a full spec sheet posted shortly.

Did you see the bare frame one on US eBay the other week?

Yeah just did a search for it to remind myself what it looked like, not very pretty in the raw . That was one of the older U-brake ones.

Managed to get out with the bike for a wee jaunt along the Forth & Clyde towpath today. The bike rides very nicely and fits perfectly, glad I fitted the shorter stem. Couple of pic's taken along the way .

I'm not really a Trimble fan tbh as they are a bit too space age for my tastes, but I have to say you've pulled off another very nice and tasteful build Col. You really do seem to have an eye for this lark.
