I wonder if anyone else has noticed this interesting bike on fleabay UK. I guess pure Trusty bikes are a bit off topic for this forum, but I assume that this is the same Trusty that made Viscount frames. Nice lugwork, seat cluster and headbadge and an innovative frame (though I can't see the adventage if it's really meant to be a touring bike). Hope it goes to a good home, but I think the value is nearer to GBP20 than the BIN price of GBP100. Trusty 'Tourmaster'

I feel the need to make and admission - When I set up the forum, I didn't really think I had space to include Trusty in the title, and embarrassingly couldn't work out where the commas would go and in what order to put them. I also didn't think that more than a couple of people would look at it either, so I wasn't too troubled by the omission. It also sounded a bit of a mouthful with 3 names. That is the 'simple' answer of why it's not a Trusty, Lambert and Viscount forum... I guess I could change it, if I could figure out how to...
I like the look of it. And £25 would be my limit.
My son had his eye on a bike like this with a bowed top tube last year to convert to a single speed and make it all smart and 'cool' looking. He was going to put those kind of bars (Albatross?) that Bendo has on that 'Sport that he just posted up with the panniers and bar bag today. It would have looked good.

I wouldn't worry about that,plenty of people seem to be finding the forum,judging by the hits.There are a few Trusty bikes on evilbay at the moment,a really splendid folder;down boy!!!! Put the bidding finger away! Anyone who either knows the bikes from their day,or has read up on them,will appreciate them for what they are.They will do their research and most likely find the CTC site first.They will then discover this wonderful site. I know we are one make(ish) specific,but there are plenty of other restrictive sites,which don't have the affordable appeal of ours. Keep up the good work, Cheers, Pete.
