Title: 1983 Bandito Racing Pro
Post by: Jonny on May 20, 2015, 08:53 PM

Here's my CW Racing made 83 Bandito Pro with dual drop outs.  The Bandito bars with the extra brace have been stripped and need rechoming.  I was waiting until i found some Bandito dual drop out forks.  It's been a couple of years looking everyday to no avail!  I know a couple of people in the know regarding Bandito and they haven't seen any pro forks for over 10 years, so will probably just drop some CW forks on it when i find them :(

That's very cool. What's the purpose of the dual dropouts?

Love these frame sets  :coolsmiley:  It's a shame you don't have the fork but you do have the bars, which is an added bonus.

Super cool buddy  :daumenhoch:

The reason behind the dual drop outs, are so you can change the geometry Jaymz.

Cheers Guys!  Yeah, will be happy with the few changes needed. 

Yes Matt, fingers crossed on the forks.  Would have to break the bank for them!
