Dug out the old TRM freestyler today after many years of hibernation. Been hung up in my garage for many years, and before that my dads garage. I bought it new in 1982 and couldn't bare to part with it. Just realised how long ago that was. Used to love it and at the time practiced endless tricks. The TRM was as stong as an ox and super light when it had the ACS Z-rims. Skyways were stronger, but also heavier and I preferred the Araya 7X's for just knocking around.
I'll post some pics of me getting big air on the quarter pipe and doing perfect 360 rollouts.
In the meantime, see some pics took just today. Stripped it down today to clean it up and maybe restore it. Having said that the frame is very good, paint is original and stickers too. It was well looked after, considering the extreme tricks it used to be subjected to.
Only made a 1000 of these and I'd be interested to know how many there are left in the world. Thought about getting rid, but ya know what? The more I look at it, makes me think I might keep it for another 28 years!!
