I found a pic of the four bike 'bundle'...I met up with the guy just for the twin bar, but couldn't resist adding the camelbacks. I think he threw in the diamond frame for free as I wouldn't add it to the bundle otherwise.

Thanks for this... great history! :thumbsup:

It looks very... Raleigh.... ?

Funny looking fastback. :bigsmile:

Super Deluxe!

I would like to get back to three BOs a year, three months each, with a month in between each. I'm sure there are plenty of people still here that would say that is too many. The extended length for BOs should be ended, as we aren't under lockdown anymore and the supply chain for bike parts is...

I got one for $40 US...and another in a bundle of three or four Schwinns for $80-100 (for the bunch...which included a 26" camelback and a lightweight or two).

Serial should be on left rear dropout and will confirm year.

If Tornado it's probably a '61.

Here is a good primer... twin bar info

They were '62 only as Typhoons... ~'61-62 overall. Several discussions about them here and on the cabe. Search for twin straight bar should find you some. One of my favorite frames. :thumbsup:

I can't confirm what size, but...porkchopbmx has 1080s available (extra long reach) if the mx1000 isn't long enough.

I did not notice... ...now I can't not notice. :doh:

...and that's that... :thumbsup: :bigsmile:

It has Raleigh forks...so, it could be a Raleigh. They made these under many names, and before TI there were similar Phillips, Rudge, Hercules and more.

Curt's probably right...the head tube and seat mast should be pretty much parallel. Those frames tend to bend in the middle when exposed to 'sweet jumps'... :grin:.

You could build it as a Muscle Bike if you satisfy the (minimum two outta three rule). Those being (briefly) a) apehangers (or other muscle bike bars) b) big and little tire combo c) banana type seat. You could build it as a skinny bike by satisfying the 40mm/1.5" and under tire requirement...

Outstanding job, Ben! :rockout: :rockout:

Looks like a pod of dolphins waving! :thumbsup:
