Just got one of these. A boardtracker 'tribute'. In actual terms, it's a motorised bicycle that's styling is based on 1900-1920 board track racers.

An Aussie had already bought one but this is the first one to land here in NZ.
So I far I have here the frame, seat, tank, & some various other bits. The springer forks, tool box, & various other stuff is on it's way. I've had to get the various parts shipped separately.
I have the very basic model, a Worksman INB frame (industrial bicycles made in NY; the frames are loosely based on 1911 Indians & suchlike) with the Sportsman Flyer in-frame stainless fuel tank, & various other bits that he supplies.
It will have a 48cc motor so can be rego'd as a moped.
The first 2 pix are the tank & frame after they arrived. The 3rd pic was taken by the supplier & is the frame just before it was shipped. The 4th pic is one of the supplier's older mock up pics. That pic shows the toolbox (fake oil tank).
