Ive owened my 1999 TRX for nearly four years I think its a great realistic road bike. The bike handles well even when pushed to the limit,the finish is wearing well,all round im more than pleased with it. The only problem is (old blokes always want to stop and chat to you it looks like a real bike). The only mods ive made is fit a K and N airfilter,and Im changing the brake hoses to braided ones to sharpen up my stopping power. JOHN M.
