Shame you aren't keeping and racing it Mark.  Who's the new owner?  Hopefully they'll build it and use it for what it was intended - racing!

that is totally amazing! early 1" challenger, pre brake mounts, with pre pitchforks (that were used as challenger forks cos they are lighter than pitchforks).

Where on earth did you find a NOS one of those??? How and why did you sell it so fast???? And why didnt you tell me it was every up for being avalable????

Very very nice!!!

Did you know the exact frame and forks went on Ebay about a week ago? It was used but it was a challenger frame, and forks, and bars, all with decals. It went for less than the Mad Dog frame got up to, was was probably a much better buy.

here's a funy fact:

it was named the Challenger because if it took off it would explode -  (the Challenger space shuttle blew up in 1986)
