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.

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.

Spartacus · « **Reply #7 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:05 AM »

hey Andy

I got your mail with lots of info, many thanks , I really appreciate mate !

The stamping is also on the fork like you wrote. (Right drop-out)

More pics in daylight

The fork stickers on upside down the useless fookers

They best stick to brazing.

Spartacus · « **Reply #9 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:15 AM »

Check the first pictures I posted here..... That's why the previous owner flipped the forks the other way

southern andy · « **Reply #10 on:** September 07, 2011, 08:19 AM »

At least you now know then.

Have a nice holiday,

watch the nice Kotopolos on the beach there !

and the frame/fork after a good clean....

next the bars, Rickmann or not ? Expert size my opinion

sid1972 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 10, 2011, 05:04 PM »

love that frame..

them bars look nowhere near the same quailty, know nothing about rickman really just going on the welds.

erdalicious · « **Reply #17 on:** September 10, 2011, 05:09 PM »

nice frame set!

Spartacus · « **Reply #18 on:** September 10, 2011, 05:35 PM »

Those magnificent welds, so wonderfull

Darren Wood · « **Reply #19 on:** September 10, 2011, 08:28 PM »

Now the bars are all cleaned up i would say NO there not RICKMAN ? But give STEVE aka ANIMAL He has /had a NOS set of RICKMAN EXPERT BARS

Frame and forks have come up LOVELY

sawzall · « **Reply #20 on:** September 10, 2011, 08:50 PM »

that came up nice mate

i would say im 99% sure that the bars are not rickman

as they look like mig welded and not braized welds

Spartacus · « **Reply #21 on:** September 10, 2011, 08:53 PM »
