Allspeeds Posted February 23, 2020 Posted February 23, 2020 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 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 12 Quote
Allspeeds Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 Bought these from TAS racing they are KTech KTR-3 forks from Micheal Lavertys superbike mainly because there are the ideal length and spec for the spondon not many forks are as long as needed on a spondon and these were ideal as well as been trick double bonus 4 Quote
Allspeeds Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 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 1 Quote
Allspeeds Posted February 23, 2020 Author Posted February 23, 2020 Backed some genuine spondon clip ons and some yokes two trying to fit as many genuine spondon parts as I can to the build 4 Quote
