( I have a clutch set up for a project) Those look like they both rock the standard tonti frame with astralite wheels and funky bodywork. Raceco in NY was the distributor for TRC Switzerland ( Transkontinental )

I'd wish more information was available.

i was asking a while back. nice to see some bikes.

Tell us more about the 'project' involving the TK parts?

Post by: Turin on December 19, 2021, 03:50:15 PM: Nothing much came from that. The Lemans SE has 94mm a piston kit that came from Raceco NY. Got a hold of Lance Baker who was the original owner/racer. Cams for both motors are RR3. No verifiable TCK bits. ( except for the flywheel which I got from Andrew at team guzzinerd )
