Triple A Rascal revisited
« on: September 04, 2007, 10:38 PM »
A while back I received my friends AAA Rascal on loan to the Reilley1 museum of old school radness.

Shortly after he gave me a few pictures of him racing along with  a picture of how the bike looked when he first got it.



I built the bike a while back but decided to make it as close as it was when he first got it.

AAA Rascal:
















This is the original picture



and the rebuild




Thanks Greg for the bike, WFO for the front rim, Cheez for the bars and Keep_it_warm for the post

AAA was a company from Southern California.  They made the original Kawasaki aluminum bikes  in addition to this bike.  They predate FMF and Race Inc.  The connection was that Bill Bastian worked there at the time and spun off to form Race Inc.

Frame is 75.  When mt friend Greg (owner of the bike) saw me looking through Vintage, RAD sites at work.  He told me that used to race BMX and still had his aluminium bike.  I dropped off some names of "newer" bikes and he kept saying "no, that's not it"  I finally ran out of choices and said "AAA Rascal?" He said that was it and explained how he had bought it used when he used to race and how he had updated it with "modern" racing equipment
