Vovchandr Posted April 2, 2023 Share Posted April 2, 2023 Listings seem to have slowed down lately. We shall see what this year holds overall. Even over last winter there's been more BaTs and other listings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cueball1 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 I'd have bought this car except the transmission as your rear bumper terrifies me. Both on the street and at the track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted April 4, 2023 Share Posted April 4, 2023 (edited) I'd add tabs/flanges at the rails for a bolt-on wrap-around guard for the transmission. Four attachment points to the chassis and a hoop behind the shift turret. Not sure why that aluminum plate is so big. Think I made it too small for a car plate but you get the idea. Probably one inch dom and 1/8 strip for flanges and mounting. Upper tubes obscured by the body. Edited April 4, 2023 by MV8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaximander Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 (edited) Croc, That 1958 Lotus Replica that you just posted this morning with the wedge nose reminds me of some kind of ramming vehicle that would have been featured in a Mad Max movie! I could see this car stripped down from the body work and used as a wicked Exocet type track car with slicks on it. The chassis seems extremely stout and the only issue would be one of weight distribution with the engine in the back. Would likely have to add some weight to the front end to prevent understeer. Or, if you left the body work on and blew an element with a 5-cone wallem, the machine would take out the cone wall with the greatest of ease. We have a fabulous driver running in SCCA A Mod with a former C5 Corvette that he calls the LS1-Kart and he is very quick and it is even street legal!

MV8 Posted April 9, 2023 Share Posted April 9, 2023 Imho, there is enough metal in the chassis to make about 4 caterhams but not as rigid. Interesting though. That is close to the same weight as an early miata. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have quite an eye for cars Mike. I looked up the KTM line of cars and the base X-Bow looks somewhat similar to that Mad Max wonder. Since I cannot afford one of those KTM GT-R's at about $300k, I pulled the trigger this week on a limited edition ebike that I have been Jonesing for since I first laid eyes on the ad back in 2019. It is an Electra (Partially owned by Trek) Cafe Moto Go! Class 3 ebike (28mph pedal assist) which is now legal for our rails to trails here in Florida. Ain't it a beauty with a Bosch drive train and genuine Brooks B17 leather saddle and tool bag. The gears are a Enviolo continuously variable rear hub drive instead of a derailleur that transmits power via a Gates belt instead of a chain. Super smooth cruiser to try and stay in shape. Unfortunately, at a hefty 61 pounds, it does not follow Chapman's edict of making things lighter with the hydroformed "tank" and uses the fat tires as its suspension.

It is a high-speed retro cruiser. As you so aptly noted, other than Central Florida where we do have hills, the State is basically FLAT. However, we have an incredible system of former railroad lines that have been turned into paved trails. Near my home, I have the longest rails to trails biking trail that spans 47 miles in length. I plan to get a second Bosch PowerTube (500Wh) for added pedaling assistance and in the Fall, when things cool down again (we have been experiencing record setting heat), I plan to ride the entire trail round trip. When I was about 22 years younger, I could pedal a conventional 10-speed bike a 100 miles in a day. Sadly, without some powered assistance, that ship has sailed. Just think, if the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf of Mexico continue to rise, our follow-on brethren in Florida will have to take canoes from island to island in what was once a total land-based peninsula. The lower third of Florida is expected to be underwater by about 2100. Thank goodness, I will not be around to see that.

MV8 Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 (edited) We have converted rail trails too; the Chief Ladiga Trail in Alabama and the Comet Trail in Georgia. I built a long wheelbase low recumbent bike years ago. Seven feet long, under seat steering (hands rest on top of the handle bar), so low I could touch the ground easily with my hand and eye height about the same as most car bumpers. Mostly a men's bike with the front fork and wheel from a kids bmx connected by an exhaust tubing boom, three chains and a ball bearing idler sprocket as a chain guide. Very fast and stable if you go off but not good exercise if you have companions on traditional bikes trying to keep pace. Awkward at intersections and scary low/invisible in the parking lot.

Cueball1 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 That sylvia s15 on ebay sold for under 10k. Seems like a bargain to me. Was traveling. Wish I'd been in country to have watched the end of that auction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MV8 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Not much to see. Only two bids in the last few days that raised it a couple hundred. The last bid was about 31 seconds from the end but the bid was not enough for the automatic bidder from a week prior. Looking at the bids, it looks like nobody had thought through how to get it for the least amount but not everybody cares about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
