Stripped the rusty bike.. the fuel tanks in good condition inside but outside there's 2 little pin holes that need sorting. Swinging arms got a few holes pea sized. Frames got some rot were seat was and near batter cover thing.. forks I think are knackered wheels are rottern

Thinking weather to bother with it and sell on???? :?

But that's because your SS50 sized Andy, bigger lads (like those in the Fizzie club all 15st +) look like a silverback gorilla humping a football.

Mines not seized. Just top ring made up of 6 pieces :lol:
The 85cc kit that was on one of my cub engines as the wrong piston i think. Stupidly high compression causing me issues. I think it will go in the lathe.
15stone. Fook me, i'm anorexic compared to that :lol:

Bit of an update

Need to still sort the fuel tank out and make a seat but otherwise the front ends finished and I'm loving how it looks
