Built it for his son didn't he.
Oddly enough Nick, this is the sort of thing I could quite easily picture you doing.0 -
I love the Millyard's design, especially the single sided swingarm design on later models
As for the Honda, Greg Minnaar did quite well with it and it was revolutiuonary at the time with it's "internal gearbox"0 -

Is it shaft drive or belt or something sick?0 -
The Honda did a bit better than "quite well".
Minnaar took it to the silver medal of the WCs in it's debut season, as well as winning the NORBA series. Bronze at the worlds and more Norba successes, 2nd ranked in the World Cup in 05, silver at the worlds and both him and Matti on the podium at the WC finals round in 06 and then both of them pretty much on the podium at every World Cup event in 07.Trail fun - Transition Bandit

Chain runs within the swingarm...clever huh?0 -
yep, nice, i bet it made some funny noises, and i bet the techs made lots of #@£$%* noises when they had to replace the chainRaymondavalon wrote:VWsurfbum wrote:Am i being super Tick here but there's no chain?

iirc the chain runs in a wet bath of lube so didnt need changing particularly often.0
