faithfully built encompassing the ideals employed by Steve McQueen all those years ago, these include styled footrests made to his original design, 35mm Ceriani forks, with seven inches of travel which he found to be the optimum, the yokes are from BSA being his preference because of the handlebar position, set behind the steering stem for better control, this Desert Racer faithfully adopts a Mk III chrome-moly, nickel plated, oil bearing frame, chromed steel wheel rims, period chromed exhausts, scramble rear tyre, trials front tyre, Amal competition levers & twist grip, a period Triumph front hub with BSA rear, along with an authentic colour coded tank, seat and panels complete the specification,
Steve McQueen was an avid racer of bikes, as you can see from the above the bike was a match of parts which he liked and found performed the best, as an added bonus if you buy one of these the tank has a replica of his autograph and comes with a certificate of authenticity, back to one feature of the bike, the frame is the oil tank, the only bikes that come to mine to have that weight saving and oil cooling feature were Triumph, B.S.A. and H.R.D./Vincent.
well if you want one of the 300 limited production run they are £13,999 plus 15% VAT where applicable, as Steve McQueen said, "this is the best handling rig I have ever owed" and he should know!
