Very Coooooooooooooooooool

The wheels look familiar? I has a rear wheel like that that I think was off a Greeves or a American Eagle? Not sure as that was over 20 years ago.
The old Greeves trials bikes had that type muffler and aluminum tank design.
Nice looking any way.
I just finished a Steen with the Hodaka 100 motor and Earle's front end. Runs good and hope to sell it so I can build a super rat.
