I know Transkontinental supplied their own frames and their own clutches. ( 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.

 here is the clutch I have.




here is what I think is a transkontinental frame (this is in Australia?)

Would love to see (and hear) those two in action...any video exist?

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

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 )
