The Place

ive rode a few makes.
but in 1994 i rode a shelboure.then the price was £5000 for the rolling chassis.
now £13500. for as the same as back then.but to support joe. all the builders have done the same. chincs buying all the steel

Good post, wrong thread Just what is a `chinc` may i ask??? I take it you dont mean our Chinese bretheren

Craig was saying the Chinese are buying all the steel which is not quite correct, but they are buying enough to push the price up.

The LCR is a fine machine, but if I was doing the TT I would think an Ireson would be the best, followed by Windle, Baker/Shelbourne. I have never had the priveledge of riding one of Rod Bellas's bikes, but I would imagine they are up with the best.

Mike Richards is also building a fine bike, and again it has all the credentials to be very good. The LCR is no magic formula to win its just in vogue at the moment, and lets face it a good rider could do well on any of the the current chassis available.

So ride your bike as hard as you can enjoy, and who knows!!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

i have passengerd most f2's out there and have to say , there all good , they all have there differant funny little ways , some look nicer than others , they all handle differantly
as for the best ??????????
its got to be the moly bike (that he built for himself to ride ) that greg has got
(trouble is it aint built to last that long with a quick rider )
then the shed bourne ,mad dog conolle and i rode ,
dosile and predictable (just like we were !! lol ),
dongo's ireson was a fantastic machine, but was hard to change direction (chicaines ect )
then prob the little lcr
and the mike richards chassis is very good too
think lcr has it right in some ways as his bikes have got be more or less identical to eachother, loads of parts all lined up on the shelf , that he can send an will fit straight on
where as bikes made from tubes are all completly differant in the way they handle (imho)
as for them been the best ever , NO !! , i dont think so
there just in fashion , drivers are like sheep !!!!!!! baaaa baaaaa baaaaa

there is one builder no one is mentioning !!!!!!

gregs bike are . . . . . . . . . . . .

waiting time is 2 to 3 years
