Russell,
Actually, the RP chassis at this time for the most part look eerily like some of the first sidewinders built in mid 1968...

Russell,
I would have to disagree. These frames are absolutely "in the style of an earlier time" in that they are mandated to be made from brass and piano wire.
But, actually, requiring frames that replicated the look of earlier days was never the intent of Retro racing. The thing we were trying to replicate was the scratchbuilding process, replicating the time when racers would build frame after frame in search of a new winning combination.
