  1. Little ben, You have my Bike.... I have been looking for it for about 3 months now. I would love to have it back!!! But if you are going to use it I would wish you best of luck on it! It took me to 2 SA titles and 2 seasons in T-Town racing against the best in the USA. The bike has a very interesting past: I raced JR worlds in Cape Town and got 5th in the 1km TT with Jeff Hopkins winning. I became very good friends with him and raced together in the States winning the Tandem events and setting a new US record that still stands. Anyway his dad is a frame builder in the Aussie. Jeff had a very similar frame built by his Dad. I asked if I could copy it? and when i got back to SA I had Duncan build this frame. It pushes the legal limit for a frame with a sloping back top tube (like a MTN Bike). It has the same angles as a cannondale track frame. I had the seat stay tubes extended for strength and added a double seat clamp. I also had Duncan fill in all the 90 degrees with filler to make it more aero. The steel is from a tandem and is twisted. The bike took over 3 months to build and once I showed people at the track it took off! Garen Bloch had one built and trained on it for the Olympics. Sean lynch also had one and if he could ride it with out breaking it anyone can. Please if you ever want to get a nother bike I would love to get my hands back on my old horse. Thanks and may happy hours in the saddle Craig Corbett
