I can't really tell and am willing to be persuaded.

They're either:

or:

Triangles are strong and the lack of one at the back looks fragile. Do they break? Is there a dynamic advantage to the construction? Super light?

Despite an aire of bitterness before its even started...

Moi? No bitterness here although I would be a touch resentful if everytime I rode and used my rear brake I was sawing through my seat tube.

Interesting to compare this to GT. One of the main reasons they got a lot of uncool votes was the 'being different' aspect...
 
In the early 1990s my friend Danny had a huge poster of a Trimble on the wall of his bedsit, you have to take your mind back to a time before carbon-fibre or full-suspension to appreciate how startling in appearance these bikes were back then! I've heard they are heavy, and that they don't ride particularly great, but on a visual and nostalgic basis - unquestionably COOL!

More pictures please!
 
In multi-coloured tiger stripe, incredibly cool. I always wanted the one Hemming rode in that MBUK article, though I'd fear it might snap if I tried some of the drop-offs he was pictures doing on it. I adore that Rasta coloured one, does that belong to someone here?

Some details in the MBUK review with Hemming at the helm.

Just noticed in that mag they say frame weight 3.5. The later frame were. But that bike in the pictures was 5lb.13oz a bit naughty that.

I always replace the U brake with Magura's even the UK importers ad's had Magura fitted. Back then HS22? i fitted.

Brent wanted the frame to be more comfortable to ride. Not light. That came later and then the problems :roll:
