Trimble complete

[posh26]

Jez, the trimble is just perfect!
If you run across a Rock Shox RS-1 I would throw them on as well! Then it would be a AAA + gold retro build, what do you think?

GREAT BIKE, Jez!

Cheers (also from my yellow not so spectacular looking Trimble),
Chris

Ah thanks!

Heres another pic of it in my mothers garden.

That's a kick-ass retro build!

But I've to admit to me the fork looks a little skinny on the frame!

Nice garden by the way

I think the juxtaposition of the large frame and the skinny forks and stem set it off beautifully

Tis a work of art Jez, well done

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Yeah I thought about the skinny fork look - its far different than the prostop set up.

However, Trimbles are "supposed" to have P2s as standard it seems - Trimbles were pretty much specced around these forks (have the engineering/dimension spec/drawing at home).


Seems to ride ok. Headset keeps getting loose and its not a lightbike....(porcs and d drive!)

What's the frame number? :?: Was that is orginal colour or a respray??

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Its all original - oops i forgot to look for teh frame number.


Several wierd things:

1) There isnt a CNC machined guide on the rear stay (or a hole) like the other Trimbles Ive had

2) The rear stay drop outs have the 3 holes cut into them. Each hole has a differerent colour in each hole - i.e the inside of each hole is either white, blue or silver. Wierd. Its as if these dropouts were painted but I cant see how. Very very very very odd. One big mystery.

Hard to explain but those coming to MM will see for themselves.

Its a real Trimble though I can assure u.

Those stripes look factory painted Will you be riding it off road? My stripe frame will be only off road if i don't have the black frame. On road only for the stripe.
Who is 'Kaz'? on the bottom of the frame i bought from you. It says 'to jez from Kaz' it think was the name :shock:

 

[jez-4-bikes-max]

Yeah its defeinitly factory paintjob.

Kris - Its the name of the sprayer on here that did it for me Nice gesture it was. Feel guilty for selling it now but I only need one Trimble with all the others in the garage.

Also use a zip tie to hold the rear mech cable down at the back.
