Got another Competition Development frame today, but its not a Quicky.
Eastwood Special, apparently only around 10 made for Eastwood Cycles (Sydney)1980 & only half of those sold. This one is from a fellow 1 suburb away from me on the Sunshine Coast & his dad bought it from that shop as a birthday present when he was a kid.






This will be my next resto.

I had one of them Grin  bloody top pick up, so many memories.  Still wish I had mine, It took me a year and a half of mowin lawns to save money to build my bike from there.  Top find and cant wait till I see how it comes out.

The rear end is Tange not a Taipan.....they were Koizumi

Lovely pick up Troy and you can thank Mark Bradley for stitching the 10 frames up.

Pretty sure your correct Ajay

I was talking about the Phase 3 Taipan rear end. Quicksilver Tange didnt sound as good.
But I do love the looptail Taipans.
Did mark Bradley also do a one off quadQuicky?
