John Rae from Birkenhead built a chassis for Dave Kruse & Ginger Rawlings in I think 1975. It had parallelogram suspension front & rear. That might be the bike?????
With John not being with us anymore, someone will have to contact Dave to see if it is the bike. I'm not sure if Dave ran a TZ 700 or a Barton Pheonix engine???
Maybe Wal Saunders can remember, what ya think wal?

Dave Kruse might be racing at Anglesey this weekend, maybe someone could ask him?

Hmmm ! not sure about that one Ian, I thought the ‘wobbly’ that Dave used had a 4” front to back spine tube ??
Did John Philips have something like this one ?

I also thought Cooper built some wobbly front end bikes ?

I can remember Lars Shwartz riding something very similar to that (with a TZ 750 fitted) . It was in a parade lap at the TT. The bike belonged to Bran Bardsley. ;) ;) ;)
