    I convinced a friend of mine to get back in racing via the Formula RD route (he works at a local bike shop so he doesn't have much money). Anyway, he is very familiar with RD's. He just didn't realize WERA had classes that he could race on the cheap and be competitive.

    So, he's looking for a Formula RD bike to buy. Cost is definitely an issue. Post here or e-mail me directly if you guys have a bike to sell (or anyone else for that matter). He wants to start with a bike that is already set up and not a piece of junk.

    Thanks in advance,
    Joe

    If he can't find a built one why not get a stocker, clean it up, strip and wire it, new tires, chain and rings and go racing. Can always build on it. As long as it's safe, why not?

    Re: Fomula RD

    That's an option, but you always save money buying a built bike ;) .

    Joe, what about Norm in Greenville ? I think he has a couple of them. I believe one is race ready and the other is still in street trim.

    Thanks Barry. Last I checked he wanted too much for them IMO. Maybe he would be more flexible now. I'll have to give him a call.

    This ad is in the classified section of "weravintage.org"

    It's not set up like you wanted, but looks like it could be! In fact if the price was right it could be just what your looking for!

    Hello;

    Our main goal it parting with this old friend is to get it a good home, someone who will appreciate it for what it is.

    This is basically the very short list. I must first begin by saying this bike has not been running for 10+ years although it was running when we put it away. It has been stored in our garage the entire time but is dusty. I have about 20 photos I can send you of all the items. We have Stock and aftermarket parts and lots of extras.

    1979 RD400F complete
    1978 RD400E disassembled from a complete bike.
    Toomey pipes
    Work performance shocks
    Aluminum European Gas tank
    2 Don Vesco rapid transit solo seats
    1 Don Vesco rapid transit fairing
    1 Race only fairing
    Tomaselli Gold clip-on's
    Fork brace
    Aluminum Swingarm
    3 pair of stock wheels
    Rearsets
    2 Stroke Reference books
    Many spare parts.

    I'll stop here otherwise it will not be the short list. Price is negotiable, the good home is very important.

    We are in Phoenix Arizona email me for more info and photos.

    thanks

    Thanks for the info guys. Please e-mail me any pics you have along with pricing. The guy looking for a bike is Gary (don't know last name) at Grady Miller's in Greenville, SC. He is the service manager there.

    I may have one.

    If you are still looking, can you shoot me an email. A guy here wants to trade me one for a Monster I have. I would only do it for the sake of selling it, and I know very little about them. Apparently it is ready, but never seen the track.
