Very impressed with the detail you have put in to this build Denny. I hope I can live up to these standards when I present mine:-).

Nothing more than just a whole lot of time spent on it Steve when I couldhave been chasing someone around much sooner in a much lighter kart.There's a lot to be said for the KISS principle when it comes to buildinga Cyclekart.

Hello Dennis,What tires did you use on your Riley?I purchased 1.4 X 17 " wheels and currently searching for suitable tires. Yours look great.david wells

Comment by Dennis Graham

Those are 2.75-17 Shinko SR 241 Series Tires. Used them because they look something like the original Blockley cross (bias) ply tyre that many of the GP cars used in the 20's.My Riley was inspired by a '29 Riley nine' GP special which Bob Gerard was planningbefore his death. dg
