Them's the breaks with no reserve auctions. Gotta love it.Show and Go Cycle Shophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00663526293803287768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2202817742529020927.post-56558464143130286872009-09-29T13:19:57.672-07:002009-09-29T13:19:57.672-07:00The selling price was way cheap.

Probably my favorite car(?), that Roth built since it includes a bike and is such a cool Ed Newton design.<br /><br />Now, I have to go and find the photo I shot of it at the R.F.

It makes sense the later restorer tried to mimik float bowls this way. Rene or Missinglink, I'd be happy to send you guys the full set of MegaCycle photos I took as well.

The info provided is to make a sale, nothing more. Whether your talking about the SirKegian Drag Bikes, Ed Roth's creations or a simple factory restoration.

I wonder if we`ll ever have a definitive answer on the Glittercycle/ Megacycle question , if they are the same bike , Larry Howards version is definitely superior , in my opinion.missinglinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04934214309144513916noreply@blogger.com
