biffsgasgas Posted December 10, 2007 Report Share Posted December 10, 2007 Ok so I am ventureing into a world of desicration. My father has 3 full greeves. 2 Anglian's which we both ride in AHRMA trials. Beautiful bikes and won't be touched. 1 challenger which is a good runner. Then we have bike X. Just a frame with earls forks, 19" rear and 21" front. We both think that it is a challenger frame. Dad has had this think sitting in the trophy room looking haggered for a while. A different seat was put on at one time and bungs were welded to the frame. We got to talking and he asked what i wanted to christmas. I suggested that frame. He thinks that i am nuts but knew that i was his son so i think he is agreeing. I have a donar honda tl 125. I want to have that bored out to 150cc and gone over then install it in this frame. (DON'T SHOOT!) Basically turn this into a Hondeeves or a Gronda... haven't decided on a name yet. Here is my question. I am seriously pondering purchaseing a reproduction greeves tank from england. Has anybody bought one and does anybody know how many pounds one cost? I pick up the bike on christmas and strip it down by the end of january. I hope to make this an AHRMA 1 line bike. Its a dream at this point but with a lot of work i think it will become a reality. I plan on keeping it an earls fork. Silly? Yes... Hellafun? Heck yea! --Biff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
