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.
