Rare to virtually non-existant R68 paper trolling on ebay

$726 for a piece of paper? Wow! Happily his photos are excellent, and they provide all the information I can use for nada.

nice bike, what would you give for some correct clamps for your fork gaiters?

those look like modern stainless worm clamps

As long as I have you 2 here;
What's an SDT Special? What's the purpose of the high pipe? What does SDT mean?

That site hasn't been updated in 4 years?

Anyway- that doesn't ell me WHAT it is and/or WHY that particular R68 had high pipes. Do YOU know? Does anybody?

High pipes were for increased ground clearance when running over the hilly terrains that typical off-road trials were run.
