Title: Harry Leary Turbo Rider Complete --- Pics
Post by: FuNMoNsTeR on February 25, 2006, 03:11 PM

Can anyone help me identify this bike ;D
It was covered in barnacles and seaweed..... I cleaned it and found this shiny thing underneath. The fivegold seat and original brakes are under reburbishment still. I had to use the original chainwheel. I have 4 others 2 NOS but no bolts. The original bolt backs are welded/oxidised into the old chainwheel so i had to use it to get riding... it will be replaced by Monday with a shiny chrome one. Leary Turbo frame number 100 is now a rider :D
Not gonna say too much because i haven't ridden it yet.... as soon as i post this thread i am going to fulfill a 25 year old dream and straddle a Turbo :)

Puff....Wheeze.....Pant :P

It flies.... i took it down to a little track a few miles down the road. I was fooked when i got there...damn head wind. The track was all mud :(
 Got some air off the side of a jump tho so mission accomplished...I tasted Turbo... Turbo tasted air.

Thanks to all who sold me or donated me parts or gave advice for this build... Much appreciated :daumenhoch:
