Is this a Standard Trailboss?

[Dr.Robotnik]

Basically this is a name the unknown Standard thread? I am guessing it's a Trailboss, or is it a 250L, Lengthy or something else?

The drop outs have been trimmed a little and bored out to 14mm from 10 I guess. The serial number is, I believe L 00 64

Cheers for any help.

no mate.a 250 2000 as serial states..very solid frame
the trail boss was earlier with different head stock and tubing variations.similar thou

[Dr.Robotnik]

TRLS 250, right?

Should it have been like this one in the link below originally? I am assuming the 00 in the serial is year 2000 manufacture right? Finally, do you have the decals for tese or know anyone who does?

Thanks again for your help.

Hmm, I might just rattle can it beige, do up a Trailboss stencil and mount it on the wall then.

Cheers for your help.

a trail boss,look at the bb the seat tube is oversized then squashed  the head tube is straight cut top n bottom and rear stays are different



i know del can help you with the 250 and standard decals  he did these

I was offered a Trailboss about a year ago, dude had only ridden it a couple of times decided he didnt like it so swapped over to a differant Standard frame

I thought it was a bit steep at 100 quid, kinda wished i'd at least gone to have a look at it

Wee bit of dropout work going on there! Always did look good in beige. Go for it!

It's had the top of the seatube lopped off too

[Dr.Robotnik]

Thanks for all your help guys. A 250 it is.

It has cut drop outs, cut seat tube and cut off brake mounts and cable guide then welded back on wonky....

As soon as I can afford a can of Nitro morse and some beige and black paint I'll do it up like a trailboss and stick it on my wall.

A Trailboss was one of the frames I considered BITD but never got so this wil have to do.

What I'd really like is a Std Bicycle Motocross now they were cool.

[harris]

the bicycle motocross is very nice ,and as the trail boss the start of the next era in many peoples eyes
my one thats just being sent over ...not so sure about the colour but ha ho.

[bmxmatt1974]

i quite like that colour with those decals 

[harris]

sure is taking me time to get use to,but when built might grow on me.

[scott250]

Now that is a Bicycle Motocross, I kind of like the mad cartoon colours on that too

Never riden one, don't think I've even seen one, only in pictures in mags.

[harris]

it was ricks and some of the sbc crew used it and got damaged on the down tube,so rick restored it for me to add to the set.

Lovely colour my mate had one like that back in the day, hence why I want one.

I have my old Basic and a T1 Progression, I'd also like a Trailboss, Bicycle Motocross and a King Liberty frame, stem and fork. I'd be a happy man then and have all the bikes I liked from down the trails back then. Keep an eye out if you can lads

Keep the colour on that BMX if you can. 

BTW how much does Ricks restoration cost, you can pm if you like.

pm on way,im also after a liberty frame,got forks stem chairing ,,bars i know of a set and a frame but all
the planets havent aligned yet.re ricks repairs he does anything you want on a frame ,cost wise is the shipping killer but repairs are cheaper than

They are a rare beast for sure, I've been looking for a couple of years without success.
