Ken, thanks. Couldn't let you have all the 70s attention with your killer builds.
Tone, yah. It's a 48. I try to set up my bikes for Rancho...

Awsome build!
Is the bottom bracket threaded or do the bearings press in?
I have a different model LRV frame with the cooks style euro bb (press in) just wondering if that was standard.

Nice, NICE! , Rick!
LRV is right at the top of my all-time-fav Vintage bikes. It is also the one I wonder "where are they now?", since I know there were about "4" TW's ever made(my other all-time fav).
So, where did you un-cover this jem?

Looks great! Holy Jeff Ruminer!
However, after hanging with Cash last week, that frame needs to be made into a Jeff Rumnier replica.
Get Pliskas TX500 bent forks and set it up 1/2 hour past DG (and 1/2 hour before Robinson) like a Chuck Robinson Team bike!

are you going to try and break the land speed record with that front gear? nice buid.

Hmm..I thought of doing it like the early Robinson team bikes (Which still had LRV on the guessets) but your idea is pretty good too. Ken, you have a fork?
Fergie, frame came courtesy of one of the Arizona crew "AZquadrider" along with some other goodies that i will post later
the big TA style 48 tooth sprocket was done so I can once race again at Rancho or Corona (albeit in my imagination only)

That thing turned out SWEET. Rick, I have a set of Tange forks with the slight forward bend in them. The problem is there is a hole drilled in the front top of the forks for a brake, which can easily be repaired. Let me know if you want them. I also have something else I want you to look at so pm me or e-mail me.
