10Speed Posted July 1, 2010 Author Share Posted July 1, 2010 it amazes me that a piston this size can get me up to 70kph... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted July 3, 2010 Share Posted July 3, 2010 just go in to fletchers and get it, cant be that expensive, try putting on alloy yachts cash account otherwise, they can cut it up for you so it can fit in your car i say this because I want to see your sweet final product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted July 13, 2010 Author Share Posted July 13, 2010 more parts arrived... new forks new bars, clubman and clip on options new 17 inch tyres, rated at 120kph (just to be safe) now the work begins, need to rebuild old rim on to 'new' transmission/hub with custom length spokes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
10Speed Posted July 25, 2010 Author Share Posted July 25, 2010 did some actual work on this today - sort of... separated transmission (now free to a good home) and engine and started measuring for adapting plates to fit to the frame... Also received new rims from Malaysia in the post... Next job is to lace these rims to the Vespa transmission I have, and to my existing front hub. The hiccup in this step is figuring out what thread is on the end of the spokes I have so I can buy a matching die, none of my excitingly metric dies match....

10Speed Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 almost nothing is available locally, but virtually everything is available online... they're 50cc's but kits up to 90 are available and some guys can get 100kph with a good build....

cubastreet Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Sweet... My first bike was one of these styles Also my first engine rebuild and broke my first ankle falling off it. was pretty sweet, but 2 gears - one too high and one too low. brakes were fred flintstone style as shoes were worn out. still in my old man's shed somewhere...

10Speed Posted August 22, 2010 Author Share Posted August 22, 2010 now have a seat... also now have built wheel, after friendly bike shop people pointed out my spokes were the exact right length for a 3 cross pattern, rather than the 2 cross I had been trying to lace with... looking for a suitable exhaust now... will probably end up modifying a scooter one... very close to cutting the frame...
