1976 Trail Mate
1976 Trail Mate
My buddy rode this back in the 70's, loved the bike and still has the frame.Finally got around to gettng better pictures of her.
This was my friends first production bike he raced back in the '76. He still has the frame and I have been trying to get him to bring her back to life. I spoke with Gregg Esser the other day to find that the original company 'Trailmate' is still in business, but they now build 'specialty' bicycles. Still this frame was pretty unique in it's day. Besides my friends I haven't seen one of these in a long time.

Re: 1976 Trail Mate
Very cool! Never seen one of these. Is that an elastomer-type suspension at the seat junction? And the bb bridge is hinged I guess? Cheers for a successful restore to it's full glory.
