RICKMAN RACING BIKE INFO NEEDED
« on: September 05, 2011, 09:32 PM »
Good evening guys

Been checking the site for a while and this is one of my first posts here. Some of you guys might know me 'cos I already bought some stuff in the for sale section.
Well here I go:
I've scored this Rickman racer last weekend and the brazed welds are wonderfull
Can somebody help to tell tell more about it ? I'm thinking to blow back life in it and will need some new decals, padset.... etc...
I know it's British and handmade.

Someone ?




I know the forks are the flipped the other way but this is how I found it, don't know why people do that.

Hi Woody , thanks for your reply.
Will contact them for more info on this.
After a quick search here,  I mentioned that the Rickman bars are there as well.  :Great_Britain:

Khaled,

PM for you about the history of Rickman.



That is awsome and in real good condition aswell.



I'm trying to get a photo of what Rickman Pro bars look like for you, i'm not too sure on yours. They're certainly not Pro size anyhow.

The fork stickers on upside down the useless fookers  :LolLolLolLol:  They best stick to brazing.
