Here's a pic of me from bitd (blimey I was thin then!) Can you spot the frame?
I'm sure this is way to easy for you guys.

Thanks for your nice comments, glad you like the pic & yeah the skip does add to the ambience!! We did try moving it (ha ha).
We were lucky enough to live near a building site, so materials for ramps were everywhere.
I knew someone would guess the frame......the good ol TRM freestyler. Odd looking beast it was but tough as nails.

I never noticed that before, but the picture was taken in Andover, Hants. Just up the road!

I might have a TRM frame for sale soon. I spoke to a mate last night and he said he might get rid of it.

Its an unusual frame design, pretty strong and light. I've not seen any for sale since I got back into the old school thing.
Would have no idea what one would be worth now, I know mine cost £115 in 1983.

What's going on with that frame! When you say thats what a trm should look like, you mean they changed there plans?!
Mine never looked like that?

nah it's a fox 4styler
similar kind of design to the trm but better geometry
remember the seat tube angle on the trm? i recall seeing people with reversed laybacks fitted
the fox had a quicker head angle too
the fox's platform wasn't liked by many though

Have to confess I never heard of the Fox 4 styler!! What year were they made?
Very similar design to the TRM, don't go a lot on all the holes, trm looked a bit nicer than that from memory, think I bought mine in late 82, early 83.
Even then I was near on 6' tall so a straight seat post was good for me, as was the shallow head tube, made for easier quarter pipe landings, compared to the Haro Master I moved on to next.
Was tough though the ol TRM, really did take a lot of abuse, all of my mates owned it at some point and it never broke!

That explains why I've never seen one I stopped BMX in in 85, Got a job and they all took the piss at me turning up at work on a Haro Master!!
I've tried the same recently and got a similar reaction!!!! (FAT BLOKE, SMALL BIKE SYNDROME!)
