I found this ex-racebike and had to save it ! I honestly am not sure about the front end but the set-up looks awsome. It also has rear sets and had a glass tail piece but he wouldnt part with that. If anyone has more knowledge about the pieces feel free to let me know. Not sure what I am going to do with it yet, but my first priority is my H2 street bike. No title with the bike and it had an H1 motor in the frame. I need an H2 motor and thats how I ended up looking at the bike but I ended up buying it anyway (son wanted the H1 motor). The front rim has dot Spain on it.

The front fork brace is one that used to be sold by both Rocky Cycle, (now Tucker-Rocky), and mostly, by K&L Supply, Santa Clara, Ca. It was called a "Golden Gate Bridge Brace. It is the best brace I ever used, and have a few on my bikes. The disks are thin racing ones that were available from a place called "Racer's Supply, and are mounted to stock H1/H2 street disk carriers. The Akront rim is there as well, and it might not be a true Akront, there was a Japanese company that made them as well, but I can't remember their brand name.

D.I.D made rims similar to the one in the pic so it's quite likely that it is a D.I.D.
