Martin Pyne's Mini Bike

[Nob]

This is how I got the machine when I bought it off the Legend himself which was a humbling experience & although the pics made it look good it needed allot of TLC & work to bring ot back to life as alot of rust & general wear had taken place.

Below me with the finished article back in 2007

The bars I had manufactured as Martin snapped the originals which were built by Mick Burrows at the time.
The special project bike & here is the main aero arms of the bars machined & drilled where the cable is routed

Next phase was welding the two wings together at an angle of 27 degs based on my own calcualtions for my height & my other road bike

Here is the same wing now buffed up & angled hole ready to accept the stem

The stem part now placed ready to weld

Another picture of the stem

The brake levers were originally anodised black alloy profile II aero levers but I had them shotblasted & buffed to match the bars. The bars were cut back 3 inches after I got them to fit my set up.

The finished product with the handle bar sections welded on & buffed.

Heat Treatment was an option but the bars were plenty stiff so were only MPI'ed & Dye Penned was carried out to ensure no cracks or porousisty was present.

Here is the great Martin Pyne on the very machine I renovated photo taken during the UK National 50 mile ITT in 1987.

Martin Pyne on the Mark 1 version of this bike & later replaced the frame for the one I have now. Not too sure what happened to the orignal black frame.

I had a new seatpin machined to match the orginal that belongs to the Legend Bike
