New user - trying to trace an old bike model

[Chris]

I remember the frame to be fatter, but that's probably my perspective at the time!

Definitely thinking Trimble.

Could have been an S Bike as they are rare and would have been from around that era. Try googling it.

Thanks for all the help guys, after looking through lots of photos I'm confident I had an Alpinestars T24. That would be too small for me now, so I guess I'm after a T26. After looking through some threads on this forum I'm guessing that's no easy task?

Stick a wanted ad up, they do turn up.

It's amazing what comes out when you put a wanted ad up!

 

[mikee]

so none of these then ?

 

[JetsetRon]

I'm confident now it's a T26. Thanks all for the input. I'll put an add in Wanted.

I'm prepared to be corrected here, but I'm pretty sure that the T-24 was named after its standover height and not its wheel size -- AFAICR it had 26in wheels. The T-24 and T-26 never coexisted, the 24 became the 26, I suspect because there wasn't the demand for a _really_ tiny bike. The 26 was a bit taller than the 24 (note the cantilevered dropouts on the 26 compared to the straight-through design on the 24).

anyone tried to change the stem of the T26 to a standard size stem, using the original fork?
