Donelson cycles

I was at Donelson Cycles today in St. louis and saw this in the corner.... Its not for sale, but not something I had seen before

Fingtresting . Do you know the Frame make ? . Wonder if it buzzes / shakes .

Not when on static display, Matt, so maybe its you - buzz, klick , whirrrrrrr....

Looks like a modified oil in frame setup.............Probably loud too..........

More likely Trackmastert , or another of the raceing frames .

It looks like Nick Deligiannis's old Norton. The one ridden by David Aldana. I don't know of dirt trackers from that era having kick starter.

Here's a pic of Nick, David and the bike.

Easier for nipping down to get the milk , with one .

purloined from link above ;

" My father bought the chassis in 1970 in LA. Dallas Baker frame. It's been a race bike all it's life. Kosman wheels, triple clamps. Rigid mount motor balanced @ 74%. Axtel head, 560nr cam, 33 1/2mm carbs. Ard ign. replaced Joe Hunt mag. Front brake is used for tt events. 300lbs is damn close. This pic was taken in 2006 after a rebuild. The gismo on the spindle plate is used to check oil pressure. "

I am not familiar with the Dallas Baker frame but it looks a lot like the Trackmaster frame I have in my warehouse. Next time you are in there ask Carl or his brother about it. If you are thinking about building one let me know and I will show you my frame.
