there was one at bournemouth, so someone on here has got one.

theRuler · « **Reply #2 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:31 AM »

do they flex about when you ride it?

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #3 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:43 AM »

no, your thinking about trm's

theRuler · « **Reply #4 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:44 AM »

trms dont flex, they just crack. flex suggests they return back to their original shape.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #5 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:50 AM »

quick lets have another dig at trms before orb reads it and goes changin all our text......

theRuler · « **Reply #6 on:** October 17, 2005, 09:52 AM »

lol its true though

my fox fourstyler cracked around where the seattube went through that top plate

and i was about 7 stone at the time.

i'd still like one though!!! i'd beef it up. with beef

Warnings to Fruit and Ruler for dissing TRMs

theRuler · « **Reply #8 on:** October 17, 2005, 10:19 AM »

not dissing them. i'd love one!! it's on my list of bikes i need

even if the seat tube angle means the seat is in a different timezone to the bars

I think there's a report on one from BITD, in one of the old mag downloads being done on here.

theRuler · « **Reply #12 on:** October 17, 2005, 12:55 PM »

the trm was invaluable in creating the fox 4styler

dordymush · « **Reply #13 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:01 PM »

was that a good thing

.

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #14 on:** October 17, 2005, 01:38 PM »

u got a pic of this fox i keep hearin about, ive not seen one

theRuler · « **Reply #15 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:42 PM »

nice hat

ORB · « **Reply #16 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:42 PM »

same as a TRM but with a different plate between the top tubes

(takes away the power of being able to carry lots of tins of pop)

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #17 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:46 PM »

shame. i like pop.

theRuler · « **Reply #18 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:47 PM »

similar but not same - note usable seattube angle

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #19 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:47 PM »

is that a fall off or a trick?

theRuler · « **Reply #20 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:49 PM »

its a trick called a "gumbie"

also the fox had different forks to the trm - it had landing gear copies

i think the bottom bracket is higher too

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #21 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:51 PM »

aeroyal seat. class. all my bikes had them on.

ORB · « **Reply #22 on:** October 17, 2005, 02:54 PM »

To get us back on topic.

To take us off again....

oberonspacefruit · « **Reply #23 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:02 PM »

you ever ridden one orb?

ORB · « **Reply #24 on:** October 17, 2005, 03:05 PM »

well, not properly, just in a circle slowly.

VERY wobblesome.
