JUGG Posted April 19, 2023 Report Share Posted April 19, 2023 Hi all, Had plenty bikes in the past but never a trials bike although fancied it for long enough, so decided to go for it and see what happens. Bought a txt 280, 2001 model I believe. Runs sweet as a nut, starts first kick, been sat in a garage for a few years so got a good deal, bit rough around the edges but not overly a***d about aesthetics, needs a good service and once over, only expensive part to sort really is the chrome on one of the stanchions has a 10mm flake off it which I think I’ll do a yeeha fix on with epoxy for now till I can afford the rechrome. Seems like a pretty active and handy forum anyway so will be on here a fair bit for info and what not🤙 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzuki250 Posted April 20, 2023 Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 If you're in the U.K. you should be able to pick up a new fork leg cheaply, there are a few breakers who can help. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JUGG Posted April 20, 2023 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2023 I did have a look but most second hand fork legs seemed to be about the same price as rechroming. Will keep an eye out though👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
