I think I Like the "eggshell" configuration even better than the "Bathing-Suit Bike"! Well they've found the bike some years back, but what's happened with his dustbin/slipstream bodywork? Gotta be PRICELESS if it still exists at all - and to whip up a batch of replicas? WOW just think of this piece still sitting around - Maybe it's still in the attic where they found the rest of the bike?
Good question! Apparently it was not very successful and then was damaged so it may have just been thrown out. I found some more pictures in Jerry Hatfield's book on Rollie Free, Flat Out! and made a new post. https://progress-is-fine.blogspot.ca/2018/04/rollie-frees-eggshell-bike-and-record.html
