Hello ,
This Saturday I had to go to work and it is a sunny day. So I took my old trimsport 1975 to go to the hospital and of course, I would like to publish a short review of this experience !
This Saturday I had to go to work and it is a sunny day. So I took my old trimsport 1975 to go to the hospital and of course, I would like to publish a short review of this experience !
First of all we are in france: see the small plastic bag on the bicycle ? it is full of croissants for the nurses I am working with !!!
I have not seen many reviews of this bike on the internet but, as it is an old model, I suppose that there is no journalist to test it, and that there is no bike journal to publish this test.
Anyway this bike is a "hidden treasure" and I aml sure that, if you are interested, you'll find easily one of them on the internet.
The bike is in "original condition" apart from the brook saddle. It replaced a few month ago the old lepper leather saddle. I am keeping it in the garage and, when I will have enough money, I will send it for changing the leather cover.
The frame is a "diamond type". Size 57 cm. In comparison with the frame of the toer populair it is a "thin frame". And the bike is light. So the "sports" denomination seems to be a reality.
In fact this bicycle is "all steel" and very far away from actual sportsbike. It was a very light, everyday use bike but nothing else.

The color is an old grey or an old green : I am not sure. It is in good condition for i'ts age.
The brake system is almost the same that you can find on the toer populair and on the raleigh sports. "Full metal" It is nice to drive and to stop with only one hand.
The bell is a classic gazelle model. See the others pictures of this bike in this blog.

The riding position is nice, even if the bike is not as comfortable as toer models.
The most interesting thing is the easy feeling when riding.
The bike is fast and it is a real pleasure to use this "sports" bike who has nothing to see with a Tour de France model.
You are the driver.............................see the rabbit crossing in front of you ?
The "roses road". I take it when I go to work. 8 kms : Nice isn'it ? It was and old railway line used to transports the flowers of seine et marne in downtown paris. So you can go from here to paris in this very nice (and very unknow road)
The bulb lamp is a union instead of the initial nordlicht. Anyway it is exactly the same.
