Hi I am new to the club, ive just bought an 83 c70, needs some work as they often do but I am looking forward to the challenge, I am in Anglesey North Wales, anyone local get in touch
maybe we can organise a meet or something, Ive been meaning to buy one of these bikes for years, finally got round to it!

Hi CL, welcome to the C90 Club

Glad you got around to buying a Cub, their very easy to love, very rewarding and so much fun

I'm trying to think who's in your area? There's a few in South Wales, but that's not so close! perhaps around liverpool/manchester would be better?

Thanks for the welcome, ok I will look for people in Liverpool area, I have always loved these bikes for their simplicity, I am planning on using the bike to commute to work and looking into a modified 125cc engine conversion with a manual 4 speed box from a pit bike, seems it may go straight in and will give a much needed power boost to move my lardy frame along!

Yep, that's a nice project you've got there

A few of the Chinese engines are not very reliable but the Lifan 110/125/140 sound pretty good, there a semi-auto and a manual clutch version I think.

Cheers, I will keep the club posted on how it goes, if all goes well I will write a good description of how I did it for all to see! Clutch lever may be an issue as original switch gear doesnt have a mounting, but ive heard there are models out there with brake levers on the left side, if so I must source one.

Aliengravy (AG) who's on the admin here has a manual clutch on his bike as do a few others, herrod I think too, so I know there must be a mount available but I haven't paid much attention to how's it's done I'm affraid

Keep us posted on yer project though (project section) we love to see members bikes taking shape

Welcome they are great bike to ride and work on, I had one with a pit bike engine and manual clutch which I think was fitted from another model with a break on left, I believe ratcrunch made this bike so u could ask him if he doesn't reply to this
