OT Ghost Tribute bicycle

[Ebehne]

I thought I would share this with you guys. Over the past year I've been building a custom track racing bicycle (probably the closest thing to pylon racing in the cycling community). I took a long time to braze the frame and make sure everything came out just perfect. The week before Reno it was ready to be powdercoated, pearl white. Well in light of recent events I changed the scheme for the bike and have just finished assembling it. I like it a lot better this way and it makes sense to name a racing bicycle after a racing legend.

Eric, thought I'd let you know that I sold your framed picture of Ghost today, to a friend down in Carson City.

We're still going to exhibit it at the Governor's banquet.

Very nice work. I was thinking the same thing, but you beat me to it. I couldn't have done better...

Is the bike a GT?

No, it's a custom designed and built bike. I cut the tubes, brazed it all together and then did the custom touches. She's one of a kind, but she has a "triple-triangle" seat stay design similar to the GT bikes.

Sandra that's great news about the photo! Glad I could help!

As requested here's some close-ups of the lugs:









and a picture of when I was brazing it together

Re: OT Ghost Tribute bicycle

You brazed it without a frame jig? That's REALLY tough.

If it was easy, anyone could do it... AAFO'ers make the difficult look easy!!!

I've done some welding and fabrication in my day, brazing is an art form! That cycle is a fine piece of work my friend!
