No idea on the wheels but that kinda looks like a Rickman framed MkII. Never seen that before.

A very nice looking bike. The wheels look very much like what you see on an 80s Nighthawk

Yesh, very close!



Look at the valvestems though, on the Nighthawk, the valve stems are between the dual spokes.

Also, looks like the KZ (and makes sense) that it'd have a disc in the rear.

The valvestem location is different between the two bikes me thinks. But they are very similar otherwise.

Yep, definitely is a Rickman frame. The owner doesn't know what kind of wheels are mounted on it.
