Wow, helluva first post. Welcome to the site! All of those parts command a large amount of $$ depending on condition. Do you have pics that you could post up?

X2 post pics we love seeing oldschool race trikes.Yours sounds like a sweet ride. Awsome story about its history. What ever became of the 200x.

Why do you want to sell it? That would be something I'd never want to get rid of.
