Aah - I like the enclosed chain on the C90, but a shaft would be even better - cheers Lloydie :thumbup: They do some thin on the ground though :thumbdown:

my mate has a TRX 850 for sale, with Rental upright bars on it. I think he is looking for about £700. its well worth it. Just had the shims done etc and a years MOT. needs a little bit of tidying though. But its not too bad. He has just bought a Storm.

If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

I don't have room in the garage for another (got two already)! He'd be advised to stick it on the TRX forum, or I could do it for him if you PM me his contact details BTT?

Typical when I've just spent too much recently! I'd have had a go at that! Quite fancy a TRX :D

If the road to the station is that bad with pot holes etc then what about this:

Always liked them, but I'd be annoyed if got nicked (likely in Crawley) left outside the station all week. I've decided to look for a Townmate (shaft) as Lloydie suggested and if I can't find one I'll go for the C90.

Thanks all, much appreciated,
