1978 Cook Bros. Racing
1978 Cook Bros. Racing
It took me 1 year to get this bike together for the 2007 Rockford show. The bike was painted by C-4. I polished the hubs and crank arms, and then had the logos laser etched back on. The bb cups and hubs i had annodized in blue. The bike has all Cook Bros components. Claude Murphy

Re: 1978 Cook Bros. Racing
Wow! I was wondering who`s bike that was. Did you bring home "best in show"? You have my vote for sure! (Followed closely by the 24" Skyway.) Cook Bros. Rules!

Re: 1978 Cook Bros. Racing

Re: 1978 Cook Bros. Racing
I've told you before in person that you've got an awesome bike but damn . . . . that thing is sweet!!! 
The new pic is killer. I've been thinking of taking some of mine somewhere to get some better pics. Now I'm gonna have to!
Again . . . sick, sick bike!!!!!!
Some people need to get down off of their crosses, use the wood to build a bridge and GET OVER IT!!!!
I don't build bikes. I just assemble them.
