That's alright, but it either needs to be a different colour or have the engine painted black.

It's okay, I think I prefer the shape of a standard TRX

Always had a soft spot for the TRX.

Yeah I quite like what they've done with that one

I don't hate any of them, some of them just aren't to my taste.

I'm unlikely to see tomorrow's until quite late, got to visit Wokingham for work.

I like that apart from the fork bellows.

Good grief, the "brown" is creeping. At first it was the seat and occasionally the hand grips (shudder) - but now a brown frame?

No. Just no!

Always liked the Trixies,especially the red & black version,I almost bought one 8 years ago but it was in the worst colour.
I'm not sure about that brown frame.nope ,prefer the stock version.

Quite like that, BUT

Not keen on the colour, and it needs a hugger and a bigger front mudguard

I have my NOBBY GRATIA TRX booked in for a photo shoot in south Wales in August. I just have to find a leather key ring and its done.

That would actually do it for me, styling-wise although the pond scum green colour would have to go. A deep rich blue or green would look gorgeous.

I like it, other than it’s 1970’s kitchen colour scheme-what we’re they thinking with that?
I did a race school day on a trx and enjoyed it thoroughly so have been positive about them since…..just don’t paint them brown and green.
