Re:

It's a Trimble.

it's not a Trimble.

Definately a Trimble, it says so in the advert heading.


The forks are very reminiscent of the Danny Sotelo Onza bike which is odd as I hadn’t heard that Onza and Trimble worked together but they obviously have cos that’s a Trimble:

 

[Peachy!]

Except the forks on the advertised bike aren’t designed like the Onza forks, just flipped.... perhaps in some sort of design homage????

Perhaps, the early work by Bret / Brent or Brian (whatever his name is) Trimble did favour Campagnolo BITD and it’s wearing a campag FD plus the very early Roo stem is very Trimble and the brakes are even earlier like Geoff Apps used on his Pathfinders

Could be a very early mid 80’s piece of Barts work, like a painting by a teenage Monet or Van Goch with slightly courser brush work from their formative years that the experts scoff at for being a nieve and slightly rustic ?

Re:

I think we’re on to something here. So, to confirm, we all agree that this is definately a Trimble and that it was designed and made by Trimble (with help from Onza Danny). The power of the internet - Excelsior!

Re: Re:

To hard-core Trimble fan-boys it is. It's a must have. We are talking inspirational early work here.

They will be fighting over it like dogs over food scraps. You just wait for the last 15 mins
of auction end and sit back and watch the bidding battle go on; will be more thrilling than Octopussy.

But proto would make it very early, didnt they make frames already in the 80s? Why does it have 92 LX. E.g. 91 pod levers were flat, from 92 curved like that. Would be more likely to see it with m700 og m730 if it was actually made in the mid-late 80s.

Good observation Sir. There's a decade worth of R&D to get this to the pinnacle you see; not the kind of
protoype banged out on Friday evening from a damp shed.
