shame about the paint job, but its... different. how much is it? is it only 26", i'd like to see a couple of reviews and know the life of it before i even considered buying it.

nice find though ASH! (Y)

edit:

oh its a one off vintage frame. not gonna see any of them on here (unless someone from here buys that one)

the breaks look weak anyway.

Trimble! It's a Trimble not a Tremble. I remember this bike appearing in Mountain Bike Action sometime in the very early 90s - it was a custom one off for a team rider, moulded without the seat mast. It's a vintage bike, so no, it wouldn't ride like your modern Koxx frames, in fact it would be sacrilege to ride it for trials at all! Trimble's were always a bit weird, but they go for big money now in the retro scene.

Here's the XC version in an even more wacky paint job:

Trimple Inverse 4

The idea of a carbon monocoque frame for trials is pretty suspect. Crash that big downtube into a rock and you're looking at total frame failure.
