vintage racing anyone?

[stainlesscycle]

anyone else here do ahrma/vintage cross country or mx?

built 2 new bikes this winter for sportsman 200 and historic 200. have another sportsman 200 almost done, but not ready to race this weekend..

woohoo, nothing like switching left/right shift in between races....

red one is a model 67 with 102 motor, and 21" front wheel (originally came with 19" - 67 was a scrambles/flat track setup bike that pre-dated the astro...) - it's a right shift which i suck at. should be fun.

blue one is a model 167 with 134 motor, ohlins shocks, husky forks, and parts from lotsa different bultacos... this bike is a screamer!

i have always wanted to get into vintage racing looking for mx bike now. i am in process of restoring my 74 ty 250 now hope to be ready for mid ohio

I figured if I ever got into MX racing vintage is the direction I would go. Nice bikes BTW.

Awesome bikes! I love Bultacos - had 4 - only have the 250 Alpina now.

hope to be ready for mid ohio

are you doing trials at mid ohio?

i'll be running these bikes in cross country at mid-ohio(i don't mx).. or i might retire the red one if it's impossible to ride...and run something else.

This is a local shop in Yakima Wa about 14mi from were I live. I love going in there and drooling over there vintage bikes and memorabilia. They have some pictures on there web site that are cool.

i'm debating between running the 175 puch (pretty much ready to go) or the 200 bultaco i'm still building for sportsman.. i'm running that blue bultaco in historic 200.



you going to athens?

 

[trailridernut]

I would run the Puch, lighter(?) and I would assume more nimble and they look really nice!

 

[trailridernut]

Yea, me too.

I only have the '74 left.

Your Mag looks nice!

 

[2whlrcr]

Thanks, but it's not really a true Mag any more. Bike started out as the original 250 Mag. It has a 360 top end with the radial head and six speed tranny. Plus a host of other subtle mods to the bike.
