    Spondon Turbo back to the 90s build

    in Trick Frames

    Posted

    I’ve decided to dry build the bike I was initially going to strip it down have the frame polishing done the start from scratch but I’ve decided to do it the long way but that will give me a better bike in the long run.

    ive booked it in with Steve Taylor to have some wheels made  so sadly after a wait to to get it back home it will be going on holiday again for a month or so in the next few weeks but then that’s all the big jobs done if I can have a rolling bike for winter il be happy this is a 2 year project

    I also bagged some superbike disc the rear is a fully floating brembo wich I’m happy with the front are some superbike spec brembo t drives the only problem with them is there not your usual on the market T drives there ones most can’t get there 7mm thick so you you have to run the mega expensive race mono blocks most a mint used set last week at £1400! So I’m dat on the fence weather just to buy a full PFM set for less money

    So in 1998 I was12 years old I bought a copy of streetfighters mag an in it was jack frosts turbo wheelie record spondon  it was at that exact moment I knew I had to one day have one the same! I’d stare at the pictures for hours now like everyone else you didn’t realise how hard they would one day become to get your hands on so through out my adult life either lack of funds or lack of being able to find one have got in the way of owning one. Until the end of last year when I got a phone call off a good friend who owned one and was quite aware of how much I wanted one. Now the owner has done a hell of a lot with this bike that is well documented so I don’t need to tel you about that but a deal was made that I would buy the chassis and all the bits originally supplied but spondon for two reasons 

    1- I want to build my own spondon not change someone else’s bike

    2-he wanted to use many of the parts to build his other projects

    so perfect for everyone (y)

    now I want to do this build thread from a bare frame upwards but I’ve kind of done things a little backwards mainly to speed things up in the final build so the bike is currently out of shop having some fab work done all of wich I will post but for now this picture is my inspiration I loved this bike and still do so I’m not going to apologise if it ends up similar I dreamt of owning it as a kid and now I’m gona build my own version of it! Il keep you posted dudes (y)

    Got a 15% discount for this little lot from Robinson Foundry for been at Stafford bike show, the OSS stand just happened to be next to Robinson stand. So if your ordering parts tell Michelle you were there to get the extra discount. Still £300 in this little stash though.
