Another MotoDromo Cycles build Coors #9

[jazz87]

Hello again,

Here is another build I just finished. This one was for a vintage nascar collector, so he wanted a bike to match his Bill Elliot Coors #9 Ford. I used the skyhawk GT2-A aluminum frame (awesome btw! and insanely light!!), the Pirate Cycles Kip Springer chain tensioner which also works better than I expected, and some uber sticky Resist Nomad tires rated to 80psi!! at 26x2.25. Hope you like it. I also shot this short video.

That's a great looking build with lots of attention to detail Jazz!

Did the customer not want a front brake?
Also, I'm curious to see how the speedo holds up, I've went through 3 of the analog type.

Thanks darkhawk, Im all about the detail Nope, el dudeo didnt want a front brake, hes ridden lots of bikes and says he fine with just he coaster brake.
I had a Stewart Warner speedo on another motorized bike I used as a daily driver and I clocked about 800 real miles over 2 years with it with no problems... This cheap Pyramid one may be different.. dont scare me bro lol
Cheers.

Sorry to disappoint but Bill Elliott raced in the 80's, he won the indy500 in this awesome Ford.

That is really nice rendition of the old racers! Where did you get the "springer" front end?

I believe you mean the Daytona 500? Bill never competed in the Indy series. In 2002 Bill did win the Brickyard 400 driving for Ray and Dodge which is at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Thanks! The springer is a Monark II fork. I got it from piratecycles.

Thanks, the in-frame tanks are great to do cool graphics on. I might do some oldschool scalops next.

Thanks! If the bike wasnt already sold I would be tempted to bring it down for the race. btw u would look into the Nomad Resist tires I used. they are epically sticky and rated to 80psi, I would imagine they are great for racing.

Durp. that was a silly mistake, especially with the pic of his "NASCAR" right below my post... Thanks for trolling

Hi, wondering how you got the Monark forks to work with the skyhawk frame. What did you use for the bearing races?
