1981 was the rage for pit bikes and the Cook Bros. came out with
six masterpieces and currently only four known to exist.
This is #2 and original finish. Everything is Cook Bros.
except I decided to put my Cook Bros. cranks on the cruiser so
with a little ingenuity I got a Cook Bros. spindle and 170mm
Redline non-pinch flight cranks to bind to make a sweet combo!
The wheels are laced with 28 hole Cook Bros. hubs which I'm
assuming only six sets were produced. The bars are mini
rounding out the pit bike variations.
This bike was 1st place for the Pit bike category at the 2009
Rockford Vintage gathering.
Hope you enjoy another historical ride.
