Alex, you could try 'Infinity' in Farnborough or 'Helmet City' both have quite a range of gear.

They are great books. I have every year from 80-81 to the present, but am missing the first three i think, 77-78, 78-79 and 79-80. They are so expensive now!

I read his book 'A bit of a do' and it was laugh-out-loud funny, would love to meet him, i think he is a great guy, no ego as such.
He runs the JW trackdays which look like fun.

I would build it first and then work out the length you need. Every hybrid will be different, somebody may measure for you but you might be using slightly different handlebars and so the measurement wont be quite what you want, or you may position your mastercylinder differently or be using a different one altogether etc. there are a lot of variables!

Which was nice!

Think Avons will now be made in Germany, apparently there is no problem with supply at all.

n.o.s ? eBay item number:196267183304 He is quite crafty in that he doesn't say 'GENUINE NOS' just NOS, if he really thought that was a genuine NOS tank, i think he may be asking more than £200! Seems it could catch out the unweary, not nice Mouse

That's really interesting, where on earth did you find it? Look at the amount Roberts was on compared to everyone else! Mouse

After breaking my wrist last year, i then developed a 'frozen shoulder' basically very very limited movement in arm. I had option to leave it to heal in it's own time, up to 18 months! Or steroid injections. Had two steroid injections over the course of several days and hey presto, movement fully restored within weeks (Still needed physio) and virtually no pain.
As i'm sure you know, taking pain killers just masks the problem and does not fix it.
In short yes, go for it, would be my advice, though it is not 100% guaranteed and i had to fund it myself, think it was about £500 for ten minutes work!

That's brilliant Johnny, reminds me of the 'ciba-Geigy' frame that Suzuki used, which Neil mac rode as well!

I wonder if that's John Ulrich who used to write for some of the Brit mags?

I have a couple of tuned (in the classic sense, ported etc. by well known tuners) YPVS hybrids and they are great on the road.
Both make mid 60srwhp with the addition of pipes, standard carbs, one runs without an air box and one with, both are perfectly usable.
The pre YPVS engines are more peaky in my experience

That was a fabulous weekend I see a Dwarf I recognise chatting with Geoff Crust (Ex Yamaha Marlboro 500 GP Team manager) Great memories, a shame the weather was horrendous on race day, as only half the field finished the race link to a few photos of the event www.flickr.com/photos/167921845@N05/albums/72157712031124097/thanks for posting Dusty. Best regards Johnny C Great pics Johnny! Mouse

Along with Schwantz's '89 Suzuki, i think this has to be one of the best looking GP bikes ever.
Functional, beautiful, single minded and an animal!

Fitted some new ally chain adjusters to my hybrid. Mouse They look good Mouse, are they RGV ? Wouldn’t mind some myself, who supplies them? Hi, yes, they are for RGV VJ22 arms. As for who supplies them, afraid i cannot help, i bought them used from a guy on Fleabay, sorry. However check out NK racing, they also make Billet ally ones for RGV arms, which are very nice. Mouse
