As an Engineer you can apreciate the Japanese Technology I had working for me it was a total dream.

THE CUSTOM THREAD-ON FORK MODEL:
I'm holding it in my hand for Oz to shoot I told him I had to steel it out of R&D restricted area and nobody could know (Top Secret Stuff).

Sweet!!! :14:
So was that held in place with tensioning bolts that stuck in the side? I saw this at Larry's, and thought immediately of Jon Western. He's got it on a JMC XL or 3.1 XL now. This one used a bolt in the side for clamping it to the forks. Maybe from the same era. Cool stuff! I wish I could find one a them big Turbos.

Sandy I just received an R&R Full Cro Mo frame from DCBMX...still has the Wheels and Things decal on the seat tube, VERY COOL!!!
It is the light, small dropout frame and the ser. is 1084. Any idea what year it was made?
Also hoping to find some new decals, and your best suggestion for the wheels, stem and fork.

Thanx

GREG_HANNA,
Thank you for the post yep Kathy was the right choice.
:1: The Frame is a CMII 1975 #84 in production, the decals are very rare and you should try and save them?

The Bike was a full race with 7b rims and light parts.

Thanks again for sharing,

Sandy, thanx for the info.
I'm a late 70's early -mid 80's guy. so this bike is gonna be new territory for me. It was just such a beautiful design I have to try to build an early one, I guess it should be EZ Box bars Astabula stem Nickle Redline fork or Mathews girder fork. Are alum. bars, alum. seat clamp, fluted seat post too late for this bike?
