    Wheres the fun in that though ? There is whole clubs devoted to buy a win racing..

    Fixed...

    Just making some sketches up right now for some adjustable "rearsets". Hopefully can scrounge up some 10mm ally at work, I'd hate to have to buy it..

    But that'd be highly prejudicial against us poor souls wot can't ride for shit.

    We'd rather build somat wiv twice the power to make us feel adequate.
    Go soothingly on the grease mud, as there lurks the skid demon

    I've got heaps if you can't find any.... small cost; like maybe some adjustable rearsets. Yes i think that would do nicely...

    if your heading towards a lonchin, have a talk to Fi5hy, his rocks..

    maybe you could rap it inside one of these:

    Cheers man I'll keep that in mind, but the theme at the moment is "what can I do for $0".. Hence scrounging for bits at work..

    And the red thing looks mint, does it have girder forks ??

    You sound like a bucket racer now.

    Red thing, yip type of girder, Hossack setup same as the Britten. Very cool.

    Cosentino (USA) built it (being a 4 stroke) to race RS125 (size and similar weight). quite an interesting setup.

    That would feel weird having the bars move up and down over the bumps
    It's not what you ride but how you ride it!!

    Nah they don't, they will connect to a steering stem independent to the upy downy moving parts.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    I love the look and idea of the Rotacular bike. Have long been toying with the idea of making a bucket frame of similar design.

    Go right ahead. There used to be a hub centre steered bike in the 90s but it is in a garage in P/N atm. Never rode it but it seemed to handle ok.

    Went scrounging at work today, only ally I can find is 100 diameter, one of the dudes is hooking me up with a bit of 8mm plate though.. Found some 30mm thick nylon too, so I attacked it with a holesaw and tidied up in the lathe, now have 15 speed knobs for the spartan. It's a slow start haha..

    In the proces of moving house I found a tape of bucket racing at various tracks from the mid 90s. It clearly shows the hub-centre-steering bucket doing laps at Ohakea in a GP. Also showed a very young Shirriff bloke standing on top of the podium afterwards with a Steadman on each side. Some good on-board footage from Blenheim kart track as well. Also on the tape but nothing to do with buckets was a 10' aluminium dinghy with a monster Mercury power head driving a jet unit. 10' and 275hp, it looked interesting and had Steadmans in it so it is kinda relevant.
