Trick TS/TM 250 article
« on: November 11, 2012, 02:50:00 pm »
I spotted this issue of Cycle Guide for sale on the Swapmeet. I reckon this'd be an interesting issue for someone wanting to build a trick TM or TS. The cover bike looks cool. I had a look through my files and I haven't got that issue but it looks as if the article might just be one of those trick Barry Watkins build ups.....like his Worlds Lightest Yamaha piece that's treated like a bible by DT1 hotteruppers.

Did you buy it Firko
No Alison, go for it if you want....I'm actually planning on getting rid of some magazines in the near future to free up some storage space, not buy any new ones unless its got something I really need to know ;)

The test rider won the 350 Expert class at the Hopetown GP at age 13  :o . Amazing.
