Post Your True Temper Tubing Bikes
I came across an old post for folks to post their True Temper bikes and thought I’d start a new one here on C&V.
Here’s mine, Tesch S-22 first with a Dura-Ace mix of 7700 25th anniversary and 7410 components.
And here it is at it currently stands with 11-speed Campy Record.

my touring/commuting/travel bike was built with True Temper Platinum OX tubing by the hobbyist frame builder that created it for me. No decals, though. Maybe someone can look at the raw tubes and confirm it? 
or.. just look at it with paint and enjoy.
The bike is now 23 years old, and has covered around 55,000 miles now. It has held up extremely well!

I swapped the triple crank and drivetrain for Shimano Tri-color and removed the rack and kickstand. The bike must have spent a lot of time hanging in a garage because there are hardly any nicks in the paint.

Trek 660
Love this bike. I know the bars suck, plan to change them out at some point in the near future. Had a bizarre experience with a jockey wheel coming loose on the maiden voyage, so new mech will be inbound. Could use a wash and wax. What do you guys think of red bar tape?

This is eerily close to a 'show us your late 80s and early 90s Trek' thread.
No complaints though!
One of my wife's bikes- refurbished '95 Trek 930 with a 1x9 drivetrain.

2006 Lemond Filmore using True Temper OX Platinum tube set.
Interesting that Lemond switched its tube set from Reynolds 853 to the True Temper OX Platinum.
TT OXP ride is really nice and very similar to TI IMO.

Very nice. Back in the day I almost pulled the trigger on a Filmore, and then soon after almost a Poprad. Both fun bikes but just couldn't justify it at the time.

I have almost bought many years ago a true temper mountain bike frame but rust issues appearing prevented me to do so
