just went into my emails and my frame has arrived at zeal today. custom 250s with 21"tt 10mm dropouts and a gusset up front no seat clamp and seat stay brake with mid bb

idea was to look like an old trail boss but modern.

havent even seen it yet but i just went onto sbc website and they are remaking the trail boss now.... cool or what

i hope my custom build prompted it. gutted i havent got the new trail boss though

i ordered mine in raw so i could check the quality of the work. if it looks like the one on their site i'll be stoked

i wanted to appreciate the work but to be honest raw bikes int really my thing. i dont know what colour to do it aaaaaaaaaargh!!!

ron burgundy · « **Reply #17 on:** July 09, 2009, 09:11 PM »

Very nice, but what colour?

Tough call

harris · « **Reply #18 on:** July 09, 2009, 09:25 PM »

yep tough call , thats bert not sleeping tonight haha

bmxbert · « **Reply #19 on:** July 09, 2009, 09:31 PM »

you get that to then dan?

i ve never had a red bike in all my time of riding and so im thinking red might be the colour. pus i heard it makes you wana go fast

either that or a nice brown colour

pickle · « **Reply #20 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:05 PM »

gotta be clear coat! everytime i look at my raw proclaimer i just love the look of the frame! and everytime i go to a park it gets loads of remarks.....then they see how shyte i am and then the remarks change

Philbert · « **Reply #21 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:44 PM »

been eyeing up that frame on ricks facebook for some time. i'm thinking it for my next frame!

as for colour, give me a day or two and i'll post up my mid school trailboss/trls250 in its new livery ready for next week at mk. i've out done myself this time! its a pearl electric blue, stunning colour!

just for debate though, certain frames suit certain colours, just like cars. do you think a trailboss would look right in red. suppose it depends on the red, i had a burgundy one which looked ace, pillar box red i'm not so sure about. they always seems to look better in dark and earthy colours

bmxbert · « **Reply #22 on:** July 09, 2009, 10:51 PM »

your right philby. earthy colours do look better. this is a 250s custom that was built to look like the trail boss. i ordered it before rick put out the new trail boss.

im shat at making my mind up when it comes to colour. the olive green colour is cool or brown. not to int the raw look but maybe i'll give it a go until i decide what i really want. i dont have a scooby what im gona do yet

subversion · « **Reply #23 on:** July 09, 2009, 11:02 PM »

Must be soo nice to get your own frame made to your own spec

I would have gone for chain stay mounted brake lugs as the original though....

Take your time over the colour dude, if you rush into a decision chances are you'll end up wanting to change it

Philbert · « **Reply #24 on:** July 09, 2009, 11:09 PM »

dark chocolate brown would look particularly nice if you got all chrome/polished bits. especially with those wheels. maybe a matt camo green! army style!

just on the raw look though, i've just dug this out, this was my second trailboss (had 5 overall). think this was about 98ish, taken at derby storm, fookin beautiful bike, profiles, superpros, t1 pegs, probably one of my favourite setups
