Beck Speedster Top

Anyone know much about the Beck Speedster top set up ?
This one on ebay appears to have a pull up frame and top....

I saw a "framed" top on one of the Speedsters on here being built in the UK, just the other day. I wonder how many of the UK Speedster kits have articulating frame tops??

Simon and Mick??

Hey Alan, The top has a sissor type frame that has a rail along each side of the top. It bends behind your head and on the side rails. The header is really heavy duty,but the back window is like sarran wrap. I installed a new back window in mine made out of heavier plastic. Hopes this help. Tom

Do all Becks have that frame?
I've seen them on IM's, but didn't know they had migrated to anything else in North America.

Alan & GN,
Yes, it is (and has been) our standard top. BTW, Gordon, bringing any of that tasty New England brew to Carlisle?

Tom,
Actually it's Glad wrap. :) We're changing the window material and size this year...
How's the build coming along?

Carey, Gordon, Tom...thanks for the info!

Carey:

Chris is in charge of bringing the Wachusett Micro-brew and that other stuff from Vermont (can't remember the name of it), and he'll be back from Germany on Saturday. When I see him next week (he stole my portable air compressor while I was down in South Carolina and I need to pick up my donor's engine for Jerome) I'll mention it - shouldn't be a problem!! 8>) I'll also bring along some "Newport Storm", just for comparison. Rhode Island's a small state - we've only got one micro-brew ;>(
