Trimble Racing

I recently tired out a pair of FMB BOYAUX de COMPETITION silk tires in 22MM on the Trimble Aero bike #067.  The tires are handmade in France and competitors to Dugast.  I think they are equal if not better in quality.  I've put about 100 miles on my pair and really enjoyed the ride!  9.5 bar is about the right pressure for my weight and even at that high pressure they smooth out the roughness ...

I recently restored and updated Nate's bike, know as the Green Aero.  This frame is from the original prototype molds and was built in Natick Mass, probably in 1989 or so. Nate is attending Lees McCrae college in Banner Elk, NC and is on the bike and running teams.  He will put the bike to good use there staying in shape for various racing disciplines.

Here are some pictures of frame #067 finished on July 26, 1990 in Natick Ma. This was an extra light frame that I originally built for professional triathlete Paul Barford. To upgrade old equipment, I installed a correct Campy Chorus BB and 53 tooth chainring on the original hardcoated Chorus crankset. Also installed new were a Campy record 25.0 seatpost, WTB Rocket saddle, correct time period Dura Ace 7400 derailieurs and brakeset, Whipperman chain and new bar tape. ... Read More

Yesterday I threw on some new meat slabs for this riding season. Fresh 29r tires! The subject: WTB nanoraptor 29x2.1's, a classic 29r tire. I've been running 700x35's for awhile, so this was quite the change to these "monster tires" for me. I'm only at my 3rd ride of Spring Training so far, but the trails are pretty much cleared up now and I'm ready to hit it hard. I put down a good 16 miles of mixed terrain and the weather was a ...

I spied this vintage and very rare Trimble Olympic track time trial bike from 1984 at local bike shop, Speedway Cycles in AK today and had to share it. This unit is owned by renowned AK racer Gregg Matyas. A similar bike was ridden by Steve Hegg in the Olympics. History wise, this was the precursor to the Kestrel and is a very rare find indeed! A nice piece of Trimble Racing history. Read More
