and it looks like it is leaning against the front wall of the factory (and no Serotta never made anything like this...... But it is probably the only way I would get faster enough to beat Smiley!!!

One of the guys at Serotta did make it using tubes out of the "scrape" bin.

What on earth are the joints wrapped with? Surely the electrical tape would hold that bike together during ludicrous speed.

But it will be turning left a whole bunch due to the grip being torn. More wind resistance on this side.

Thank you for sharing this :)

looks like fun to me. I might want more than one brake though.

Who makes that bolt-on motor? I saw a couple of guys zipping around Philly with that setup just the other days (but not the carbon frame). It was pretty quick and loud.

Some of the guys are VERY good at making a "new toy" :beer: What I meant was the SEROTTA Company did not make anything like that.

Ben definitely lets the gang use their imagination on things in the "after hours"

That's just cool! I like the "Buzzard" decal on the crankcase. Isn't that a go-kart engine? I dunno...

Buzzard is a band. Some of the members work for Serotta.
Buzzardcore on myspace...
Darrell's bike has been a boon to some informal company events, and reportedly indoor at some Buzzard shows.

And if you have to go with just one brake....note to self....put it on the rear. I've read your braking power can be severely diminished when one is flipping forward through the air at 25mph.

Electrical tape lugs........way cool. Though, Duct tape is more vertically compliant and laterally stiff. Just sayin'

Who says we dont have motorized bikes like the post the other day, about China being over run with motorized bikes. It could catch on over here with the masses. Just think, it would put Serotta on the map with the masses.

Serotta are you listening, could be just the ticket for helping with the economic crunch.
