The trials bike build

Disclaimer notice:

I do not claim to be that good at it but I do ride trials and have since high school,I do need better equipment,but this will have to do for now.

They are great as long as you like standing up,the seats are not comfortable for long rides,this one should be fairly fast as far as trials bikes go.

Put a camel hump seat on it :chairfall:

I know half the fun is in the building but.................................

If that last one was within driving distance of me I'd buy it today......that's a freaking deal. You'd end up making money on it if you got tired of it and put it on ebay.

The TLR200 wasn't much of a trails bike for any hardcore riding, but for neighborhood donkin' around, it was a blast. I worked at a Honda dealership when they came out, and all of us rode the snot out of our demo...

It's the same price as a new superjet exhaust......that's really a no brainer

I don't see that happening,most peeps who have these bikes know pretty much what they are worth,thats a deal at $700.00 and he damn well knows it I assure you.

So after some serious cleaning I found some cracks in the welds on the frame where the tubes attach to the backbone,I need to finish disassembly then the frame goes to the tig welder,there are some pretty shoddy welds on this frame ,I will get him to give it a once over.

Yeah I saw that. It's a bit out of driving distance now since I moved back to North Alabama, but I'm sure I could beg Parr to pick it up since he lives and works right there. I think that's an early 90's model and I have no idea what parts would cost. Maybe I should do a little more research.....
