1989 Trimble Inverse 4 X Frame

[jimi911]

Here's a 1989 Trimble Inverse 4 X Frame I picked up locally in Toronto in the winter. Pretty excited to find it. The original owner treated it very well as you can see. It was built up for him using a mix of syncros parts and XT. When I got it I briefly thought about redoing it all with higher end parts, but it the end I decided to keep it simple and OG. Rides pretty well. I swapped the T1s out for some smokes after the first ride. Clearance was an issue on that early P2 fork. Other than that ... pretty fun.

Nice selection of parts on it as well. What frame number is it? Under the rear drop out.

Quite an early frame. Happy riding

Yeah ... its the lowest # Inverse I have seen. Prob in that first batch after the Carbon Cross.
