Right
I have been threatening to start this for some time now , so here goes
Word is there were 1000 of these frames made, I hope not for my sake.
What I want to create here is an accurate fact file outlining the TRM story from start to finish
I have some interesting insight , which will become apparant over the next few weeks / years
I need all the help I can get , so your memories from BITD are going to be invaluable , not to mention interesting to other members.
any stories,  pictures, articles etc etc  you have relating to stechford cycles & TRM...............I need !!

[stu27]

brilliant pascoe
you gotta get dave on here
heres mine

i bought it off winnet93 nearly 3 years ago
stechford cycles was the shop to go to in brum
could never afford anything from it,but that place was like a showroom

oooooooo best be very carfull were you get that done Chris....... prices can vary immensly .. i picked up 2 sets of bars today . £20 each ...... i herd some people charge £160 for a frame and forks     ...... my advice always use a reputable place that comes with good recomendation  

[megsy]

Gonna be a long night

Kappys one ?? does that mean he no longer has one ?? he had a survivor bought back in march2012 have you got that one??

Yes thats right its the survivor he bought in March of 2012. kap doesn't have one anymore.

Ahh didn't know they did other frames apart from the DTT ones 
Always really liked the look of the frames, just thought the graphics looked a bit pony (sorry not trying to be insulting but I think they would have maybe sold a lot more otherwise)
I bet they're great for framestands

[brettypeeps]

Ok rather newbie question but i cant find it.................frame number where are they?

The Dont have them.  This is just to guage how many are still out there   and track them moving around

[skki3330]

LOL feel rather stupid now 

[stu27]

[80sBMXer]

No official frame numbers, hence I'm making them up!! your obviously not stupid, youve just got your hands on one of the most iconic british freestylers  

Stu,
How many times have you been over that frame .........haha. seriously though can't find link now but could be winnet93,scorcher mick ?? anyway someone said their frame had "24" stamped on it.someones got it!!

I did think about asking Del to make a numbered TRM decal to stick on the bottom bracket with the UNOFFICIAL frame no on ..........we'll see

I'm just interested to see how many are still out there, and get them all on RADBMX

[80sBMXer]

[glenboy]

great work , you've really had a good rummage to get all this info , i'll get some updated pics of mine , its now got vincent freestyle bars on and black tuffs and white tyres

[FAZE3]

Great work 80's bmxer

You've put me down as owning 0018 bitd day, which is true But I was wondering how you come to number the frame 0018?

I can tell you if it helps, that the frame was bought at the end of 83, for £115 and it was in white. I sold it to a nipper in Andover, Hants. He loved the rattle can green/orange paint job I did

[glenboy]

no the number hes put on is just the number in his list not the numbers of the frames or anything

[TORKER mick]

i got my TRM frame from "stevied" of here 2 years ago and found some forks on ebay with in 2 weeks for £60 it was chrome with chewed drop outs its now restored and painted white the forks had been cut down but "steve69" did a great job sorting them out will put pics up later

Sorry .......I should have made it clearer

I am numbering these bikes in the order I find them on internet searches or references to bikes being sold etc
there are some forum conversations dating back to 2002 which include transactions for TRMs

I suspect the list of around 40 at the moment will actually reduce, as I guess that some of the ones I have numbered are the same bikes
Just need to know who bought /sold what ,when and to/from who.

winnet93 has had about 5 of them in the last 8-10yrs , so he holds the key at the moment to cleaning up the list

Then I'll tidy up the thread and make it easier to view

I am working on Getting the facts of the TRM story together as we speak, so will keep you all posted.

Thanks for all your help and interest so far

TRM in Action

FAZE3 has sent some real ACTION SHOTS on a TRM I think you should see

Not like us pussies with our polishing cloths









Exactly when I got it and from where I really can,t remember
We were always swapping bits and pieces around,me and a couple of mates, and I think the forks broke, although despite serious abuse the frame was bullet proof I'm so happy we took loads of pic,s bitd, so I have plenty of trm action shots if you need some?
I got a Haro master for Xmas 84, so I must of sold it just before then.
I was really into freestyle back then,so all my bikes are freestylers,
I,ve now only got a few though,Haro master 84,gt performer84,hutch trickstar84,redline prostyler86,Cw california85
So the bike I would love to build would be a trm,but they have never came up at affordable money would love one though.
Look forward to more info on the trm history
