Come on Colorado Alan, you just taught yourself. Or Randy’s Ryan. He can weld, bend pipes, all sorts. This is a work of art Title: Re: Custom frame turbo FJ Post by: Pat Conlon on February 01, 2021, 08:23:11 PM That’s a Spondon frame....very rare and cool.

There is a guy who used to work for spondon. I think Galvin something. I think it's GIA.? I can't remember. I hate old age. I used to have a photographic memory. Now I can't remember what I was just going to do. Title: Re: Custom frame turbo FJ Post by: RevDeal on February 01, 2021, 10:52:35 PM That’s a Spondon frame....very rare and cool.

That company is GIA Engineering.” Cyber motorcycle Title: Re: Custom frame turbo FJ Post by: Pat Conlon on February 01, 2021, 11:17:43 PM That’s great news, thanks Dan and Jacob!
I was bummed when Spondon closed their doors. It’s great to hear their work continues. Cool looking build...I wonder how the oil drains from the turbo?

I got it from a guy who bought it and never got got around to installing it. Paid $1500 for it. My brother and I were both bidding on it and didn't know.
