  • Hi Guys,

    Thought I'd give you heads up on this, we've built a bike for IOM TT rider Guy Martin to attempt British record of over 110mph.

    It will feature in the first episode in a 6 part series starting on December 29th Channel 4 called Speed. How to make things go really fast.

    Set your sky plus!

  • I love a good land speed record, me. In.

  • Sounds interesting, I guess we are not allowed to see pictures until the show has aired?

    Show sounds good in general too, I liked that how britain worked show that Guy did before.

    No my hands are tied a bit. Trying to get some authorised pics now.


    Channel 4 December 29th 8 pm. We build the bike for #guymartin to attempt over 100mph and Britsh record. Set you Sky + by Rourke Bikes, on Flickr

  • 110mph. Fixed? Yeah post a sneaky pic if you can.. sounds interesting.

  • Custom-built landspeed bikes are awesome.

  • Can't wait. Subscribes.

  • Guy Martin is a bit of a hero isn't he?!

  • Will it be on fire?

  • .

  • I'm wokring on my own plans for spring, which is 60mph fixed, brakeless, without a car to break the wind, down a big hill in Bradford.

    Not sure if anything like that has been done before.

  • Me? Guess we'll see...

  • me? Guess we'll see...

    do it.

  • Good one Jeez, I lol'd.

    Reasoning is if I can spin 43mph on 53/20, I can spin 60 on 55/13... Got some testing to do first of course, will be doing a few runs on different gears to get a feel for the hill. No special bike here, but may use 50mm crabon for the aero.

    Anyway, sorry for intruding on your thread Mr Rourke.

    I tested this bike and easily got 60 mph down Axe Edge reckon I could have got around 75 80 but thought I would get a big run up and did the long flat section on a big gear first could hardly breath and feel my legs by the time I got to the downhill bit.

  • What gear was that on?

    There's a great hill in Bradford, just been resurfaced, very smooth, gradual run in, long straight mid section, long run out.

    60x21x60x21

  • I thought that was a typo until I realised what you meant. How many inches is that?

    To be honest I can't remember.

    Hope made us sprockets from 60 60 x 15 15 to 21 21

    21 21 was out 60 mph speed gear
    15 15 was our 100 - 120 mph speed around 420 inch i think it was

  • I really can't wait to see this.

    I've done close to that in Melbourne on a road bike (hell yeah I had brakes!), no car though.

  • He's a cool, fast version of fred dibnah. So yes.

    Fred Dibnah is cool as fuck

  • Exculsive for LFGSS First pic of the bike I built for Guy
