Hi
Is there anyone in the South London are that might be interested in Cycle Speedway as i used to race and have been to the track in Garrat Lane and it wouldn't take a lot to get it in order.
By the way the bikes above I think were made by Mike Goff Ace Cycles.
He made the one I now use to get about on.
Most of the triple traingle frames were built by Mike "Baugh" of Ace Cycles. The others used to be hand built 531 Archies. Now the vast majority are Archies aluminium frames which are nice. In addition there is a lot of MTB convert stuff knocking about, which changes the gearing with the smaller wheels. Archie's run on 26x13/8.. I think the Pinkerton was built for Lee aris and i have one very much the same...
Hey RPM if you lads fancy a go round Newport anytime let me know and i will happily set up a session...Legro and Povey have shown interest.
Heres one i prepared earlier...;-)

Not sure why speedway riders favour triple triangles so much, but I know quite a few Neil Orrell frames have been used for speedway too. Presumably more oop north though as he's Manchester based.
Triples started to get popular in the nineties really with Ace making them..prior to that mainly standard diamond. The modern frames have gone back to standards as the materials are better now.

I'm near Stansted Airport........Bishops Stortford.
Ive just had a look and it seems East London CSC in Canning Town is the nearest.....its where my wife is from as well :o)
Have you got any other suggestions??
Perfect...im sure they will look after you...Find out what night they practise on and they will be pleased to get you on the track. Enjoy it...

My triple triangle Orrell is an '88 - must have been ahead of his time!
I've seen a few of Steve Goff's triples and they're very nice.

I'm definitely up for it once I've got a bike sorted, which will probably be an Archie Wilkinson, unless by some miracle I find an Ace Ultra.

love this, just received our latest load of urbanvelo to distribute, apparently, in Portland USA, there has been one speedway (indoor) event, therefore speedway is the next "Goldsprints".

^ That prediction doesn't seem to have come true (yet). :)
Just thought I'd link to this, as people may search for it in this thread:
