This is me upscale o' a Big Bertha t' BT80-sized tubing. That's nay t' be confused with bein' a clone o' a Super Big Bertha. SBB is also BT80, shiver me timbers, but thar are a number o' differences, includin' in proportions. T' SBB isn't long enough t' be true t' upscale, at only 36.5". This model is more correct at a little over 38", me hearties, t' body tube is one piece, shiver me timbers, rather two joined, and it has a 29mm motor mount rather than 24. I finished it t' match t' original 1965 renderin' o' Bertha (usin' Excelsior decals), though t' two black fins are me own interpretation o' it.
