Jaydee Posted September 26, 2019 Posted September 26, 2019 Looks pretty much like this Martek frame. 1 Quote

wobblegob Posted September 27, 2019 Author Posted September 27, 2019 just spoke to martek yes it is one of their frames woohoo. more pics to come when it gets home lol Quote
clivegto Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 You is a lucky man. Martek still business then ? Quote
wobblegob Posted September 28, 2019 Author Posted September 28, 2019 Apparently started making frame kits again. was talking to them yesterday about this bike just wanted to make sure it was a martek. I bought this very cheap of an old chap that is packing up biking. He knew what it was worth but let it go cheap to get it out of his way ................my win there then. 4 Quote
Fula28 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Your so lucky to have the opportunity to have such a fantastic looking bike. Treasure that. Quote
Captain Chaos Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 it certainly has potential. Swingarm would be the first thing to go if it was mine 1 Quote

Blubber Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Cool. What is your vision/ plan for this bike? Quote
Dezza Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Looks like a great base for a project. The swingarm does indeed look a little strange but binning entirely something made by Martek would be a bit drastic. Personally, I would have it altered by someone who knows what they are doing, e.g. Martek, now they are back in business, to fit adjusters with a reduced range and a new brace but each to their own I suppose. Is the tank an alloy job made by Martek? A frame kit of that quality with all those bits is going to cost 6 grand upwards so the difference between that to the cost of the bike and all the other bits is the bonus Quote
clivegto Posted September 29, 2019 Posted September 29, 2019 Arm is cool it's the way the top brace is attached at the back, not perticaly asthetical good looking. Saying that though I would probably sell my soul to own that bike. Quote
