Team McCall USA
Gordon McCall was put in touch with me through my friend Dan Kyle. Dan is a motorcycle tuner that knew that I knew a lot about building bicycle frames as well as motorcycle science. see: [www.teammccallusa.com]
Previous Record Bike
Fred Rompelberg is the current record holder. 268.831 km/h. 167.044 mph.
This is as close a scetch of Fred's bike that I could make from photographic details.
Rough Print for Team McCall USA Bike
The Frame
The Wheels
Marchesini 125 GP forged magnesium Wheels, 2.50”x17”
The Tires
Donlop 125 GP tires
The Fork
Ohlins 125 GP gas fork
The Brakes
The Headstock & Bearings
The larger the headstock the better. Current bicycle technologies are durable and light. The Cane Creek Double XC 1.5" Flush headset should maximize the headstock area.
