Got this back from Powdercoaters this morning (fhmreader on www.burnerworld.co.uk).

Robinson Amtrac... got 90% of the bits to get her built up...

As normal... the pics don't do her justice.

Gonna race her when she is complete.. (another controversial old/mid school bike... $:-\$ )

Think my camera has let me down or its the lighting... its called Super Mirror Red and its a proper BRIGHT red... like a Post Box.

But little did I know that 2 great boxes were waiting in the living room for me.... bloody flat pack furniture from NEXT Directory...

Maybe tommorow... $:-\$

Charles Townsend was Sponsored by Robinson who were co-sponsored by Amtrak ..................................................

It needs searching TBH , but Amtrac is

Lookin' good though

Matt, It's definetely an Amtrac because I sold it to him.

I bought it as a Pro XL then realised what it was when I got it out of the box. It's got the dropouts with the caps welded in place and has an A stamped on the dropout.

Very nice finish by the way Dave.

Exactly !

, hence Charlie Townsend's nicknames bitd ...............

"Choo Choo Charlie"
"Steam Engine Charlie"
"Speeding Locomotive Charlie"
"Amtrak"

My point being that I think your spelling is wrong as Amtrac ? .

Registered trademark?

beard1973 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 27, 2007, 02:17 PM »

This is the only picture I can find of an Amtra* with decals on....

Looks like AmtraC to me...

beard1973 · « **Reply #15 on:** October 27, 2007, 02:26 PM »

And hows about this....

AND FINALLY... this....

ron burgundy · « **Reply #16 on:** October 27, 2007, 02:31 PM »

The rail company uses the name Amtrak, which will be a registered trade mark, hence Robinson using the name Amtrac to get round the trademark infringenent.
