I just unpacked , reassembled , and rode my new toy ... And I have one trivia ? to ask , Who's signature is that on my bicycle ? And boy am I out of shape , 3 minutes on it and I'm beat !!! I can't imagine what it'll be like when I take the 40 tooth front sprocket off and put the stock 28 back on ......... But it's all stock right down to the domino levers and grips !

Glenn:
that autograph is from Jean Pierre Goy. He was a trick rider from France who was sponsored by Fantic back in the day. He was one of the first to do the travelling stadium trial show. he was quite good too. Now what do I win

Glenn. If you're interested I took some pictures of him on his Fantic back in 1984 at the Kickstart TV programme. KICKSTART101 on here has put them up on Facebook Here towards the bottom of the page. Nice looking bike by the way.

Do we know what years the bicycles were made/sold ? I know mine originally was owned By Mark Older in cali . I guess he was one of the importers back then ...

Here's mine, picture is from the SSDT quite a while ago.
Snapped the bars several times but the plastic domino grips are still my favorite grips.
