I saw that one for sale on CL.... holy mackerel I'd say someone smacked the barn WFO. I hope you can fix her straight again. Cycles R Us's yard I think has an 85 BR hulk, don't hold me to it. its been a few weeks since Ive been there. Maybe rob the frame off that if it's straight
Ben has a nice frame for that and you're going to be in town this weekend

Thanks for the heads up joe...I will pm ben....
Yeah cycles R us does have a Big red chassis out back. From what I remember it had forks and was pretty solid.
Looks like you need a seat cover....these guys make awesome covers...

Also pit replica on eBay makes some great cheap covers....
Cycles also donated to the 2013 raffle trike and Ohio trike races for the last few years...
Mark also works for cycles as a favor..at times...

Thanks for the info Rob.....I am undecided what to do with it yet? Hate to part it but it needs a lot if attention. I am thinking of building a monster red. Lifted with snorkel,mud tires and such if I go as far as starting from frame up......
There has been a 250 es frame on the rochester ny craigslist site for several weeks for $40.
I need a 250es tank if you decide to part it out.

I have a frame if you want to build it and a extra swinger if you are going to lift it
