1970 Webco It is our understanding the bike was never raced but used as a promotional exhibit showcasing Webco products. 40 years later we found this bike minus its beautiful plastic in a barn in CA. We had no idea what it really was until we were sent the magazine. As we tore the bike down we realized what we had. We have faithfully restored this one of a kind bike to its original condition with a couple exceptions. The AT1 rear hub assembly on the bike just looked wrong and the reasons Webco gave for using the hub (better cushioning for the tranny from the increased power) made no sense. We reinstalled the correct Rickman rear assembly and it looked so much better. Every detail was faithfully preserved and restored by master restorer John Kovacik in Phoenix, AZ.
With the HUGE expense to do this work we decided to make a replica as well that
is a copy of this bike in almost every way. The replica will be available for sale
in the spring of 2010.
