What to believe or not
Spent too much time trawling the internet looking up the Bobby SirKegian bikes and it seems increasingly probable that they are not what we are told they are. There is apparently no doubt about the man him self's racing pedigree as that is a matter of record (please say it is!) but as for the pedigree of the bikes I'm starting to wonder. It seems that there has been some doubt as to whether the bikes offered are true restorations or in fact replicas for some time check out the SHOW & GO CYCLE SHOP posting from back in 2009 and from the same period NOSTALGIA ON WHEELS points out that the seats are re-pops.
I have no issue with the idea of building replicas or bikes influenced by the past but then offer them as that and not some racing pedigree piece of history at a hugely inflated price.
I would quite happily be seen riding any of those bikes as I like the styling on them, I just don't like the idea of fakery! On the other hand if people out there are willing to pay the prices that these apparently went for so be it
