Corky Guilbransen Derny Motor-Pacing Cycle (1960s-USA)
Harold "Corky" Guilbransen built this motor-pacing derny around when Kissena velodrome was built in 1963-64.
The frame may have come from a low-gravity (small front wheel) Schwinn Cycle Truck.
The engine, tank, and front wheel comes from a gas-oil burning Honda 50.
The rear wheel uses a double-fixed-gear steel hub with a heavy-duty Worksman rim and spokes.
It has a fixed gear for pedaling. Corky used this to train his son, Harold Jr.,
along with Marc Lobit and Preston Handy. It came from Don Winston (who can't wait to drive it),
and before that Jamie Swan, who was given charge of it by Harold Sr.
The tank decal MCA refers to the Metropolitan Cycling Association.
