TRIMBLE AERO BIKE RESTORATION

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. The carbon Profile fork and CK headset had been previously installed about 2 years ago. Also new are Vittoria Diamonte Pro tires and Dura Ace 7400 7 speed 12-19 freewheel for the training wheels. With my Zipp 303 wheelset and Veloflex Carbon tubulars, the bike without pedals is under 17 lbs, not far off a modern bike and far more aero! The bike rides awesome now. I’m guessing the frame has in excess of 20,000 miles on it.  James Trimble
