WHEELSMITH WORKS 125   Message List

Re: WHEELSMITH WORKS 125

Hi Jack!.....I've just returned from the huge VMX Magazine Classic Dirt
4 (1200 bikes) to find that Son of Moe has cast his shadow over eBay
again. I'm prepared to bet my mothers inheritance that this 125 is
neither a works bike nor has it ever seen the interior of Wheelsmith
Engineering. Ulrich agrees and he sent me a posting fron German eBay
http://cgi.ebay.de/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=250107512642 showing a
clean '74 125 for the equivalent of $1630us. I can't believe the balls
this guys got to claim the stuff he does. Still, PT Barnum was indeed
right. There is a sucker born every minute.

I have SERIOUS doubts as to the validity of this so-called Wheelsmith Workds 125. To the best of my knowledge, Track 'N Travel was the ONLY SoCal dealer who...

Actually, the Trans-Am 125 class was very real. The manufacturers "trick/works" pit bike class. You see, after nailing down the '74 Trans-Am finale at...
