I was in their area the other day and Timm generously allowed me to see the shop. I was in complete awe the whole time. These guys know their stuff!

Timm and Roland really blur the line between engineering and art! Can't wait to see what they come up with next!

?? What motor is that behind the puppy??
That's a Whizzer engine with an OHV conversion, and there's an ancient
Albion 3-speed tranny that I stretched the rear triangle 2,1/2" to fit.

The bike is a 1950 Whizzer pacemaker, originally came with 24x2.125 tires.
I widened the rear triangle when I stretched it, so I could fit the 24x3" rubber.

This bike was a basket case, just a frame, seat pan and engine. After I got it
running in the raw metal, I took it out on the highway and instantly caught up
with 55-60 mph traffic. This thing is seriously fast, a legit 70+ MPH machine.

Big fun!!

You guys build the coolest effing bikes of all time! That bike is so gosh darn awesome, it makes me just want to copy it, so I can have one for myself. Sadly, I lack the engineering/mechanical/metalworking skills of Timm and Roland.

Did you guys do the overhead valve conversion? Totally jealous of the gear box, and those tires are effing unreal. Something about this bike just makes me cuss for emphasis! And going 60 is just the icing on the cake, so to speak.

Again, bravo to you guys, you make some good sheet.

Hope to see you two at the next Grange race,

Gilbert
