Looking for 21" Standard Trailboss from 97 or 98! Have cash and cool trades!

Like it says looking for a good condition 21" Trailboss frame, preferably with the original decals still.  This is probably a longshot but well see!

I will keep an eye out for one. Sadly almost never find them in good shape though. I went through 5 or 6 of them before I finally found one that was good enough to fix up (even that one was cracked on the seatstays but had far less dents that all the others I tried). Almost always missing the og stickers as well, but SBC has the replacements (probably have to call them to get the full frame/forks sets since the ones on the site are for the new ones).

After I finshed my black one I picked up one that was NOS but was missing the decals and had heavy shop wear. I sold it to a friend that works at the local shop.

I know it man they are hard to come by for sure.  Since you have so many dialed bikes we could just work out a deal on yours

[milhous]

This is the only '97 I kept. It needed a small crack repair and a little filler after the weld, but you cannot see the repair now.




(Sorry to clutter the thread, just wanted to show what I started with on this one to give you an idea that a beater can be cleaned up).

Probably not what you'd be after but if you don't have any luck finding this frame, you could always hit up Standard and have an exact same version made up as a custom, but that also means spending more money then your willing to part with. Any how good luck on your search !

Milhous that is the exact setup I want to do!  My first Standard was a matte black T-Boss from Frankford bike!  and Cellmember yeah I've thought about that, it actually might come to that!  Standard is pretty close to me I need to get in touch and see what they say price wise.

that's the color i had, metalflake royal blue kinda. looks purple under fluorescent lighting. mine was triple gusset though, i wish i never parted with it.

I have one that is raw but has a big ding on one of the seat stays.  I tried sodering it to fill it in, I need to finish it up.

[CHROME_RIMS_YO]

i have a never-assembled waterford built trls250 21", usa bb, gastank gusset, no stovepipe seattube. dark green powdercoat with only a few scuffs on the bottom bracket from sitting on a shelf if i remember correctly, it's been a while since i've looked. the 3/8" axle slots appear to have been modified by the guy i got it from, but it looks like only the top side of the dropouts have been ground down and not quite enough to fit a 14mm axle. by grinding down only the top part of the dropout it's probably made the headtube a quarter degree more slack and probably dropped the bb by 1/8" at most. i suppose the dropouts could be repaired by welding a little more material and then grinding it down flush and even with a couple mm taken off both the bottom and top edge of the axle slots.

if you're at all interested, let me know.
