  4. Slightly lost my way. Got a bit tedious waiting. Bought myself a Yamaha Tenere 1989 vintage. May keep may sell on. Still looking for a twinshock though
  5. Cripes, a fair few quid then. Usual thing though. I was told by an old mechanic. When looking to buy a car. Always look what its going to cost you to put right. Rarely do you buy without fault or bodge
  6. Looks like i am heading in the right direction then! Well maybe
  7. Hi all. I have been to look at a 1979 fantic twinshock 125cc. I have been told it has a Suzuki piston taking it to 175cc. Not sure if it was bored to accomadate. Is it a successful conversion atvb
  8. Enlighten me on the older mono issue. Looked at 4 last night One bit out of my price range but nice £1400 A 175cc with a Suzuki piston in!!!!!!!!!! Quite a nice bike but needed a tinkering with the carb One a 125cc but wouldnt tickover and a bit tatty The one i prefered was a mono, 212cc needed paint on the tank but rode nicely £100 difference between the 125 and the other two
  9. Graham knows the score. Are there any bikes that are a disastet or any with hard to get parts for? Off to see some Fantics tonight.
  10. Genteel. Like it. Thats me lol Right, my initial thoughts were to hark back to my youth. Ty's Fantics Bultaco twinshocks. I wentto see a guy who had 2 pre65's 4 fantics and a Montesa 315r.When looking at the price.I thought cripes betterto get something newer, farbetter value. Went to a trial Sunday and saw the spangly bikes and power rangers lol. Saw fred on his twin swith jeans anda sweatshirt and thought. More like it. Hopingto start with the dabbers. Just hoping by getting some advice to stop me buying a dodgy bike atb
  11. Hi all, getting all a bit muddled. Looking to get into trials after many year being a road biker. Started off thinking twinshock then something newer, after seeing what you get for your money!!! After going to a local trial near Ipswich i am thinking twinshock. I have been getting advice here and there. My dilema which is a common one is which bike! Like the Fantics till i was told last night about spares prices. Piston
  12. I have this thing called trials central on my phone, its where you get people who know about trials

  14. Hi all, what is the difference in the weight of bikes between the cc's. I.e between a 125, 250 and a 300 Atb
  15. Oh and what year did the red painted engine models end? Thanks
  16. Hi all i keep perusing the classifieds. It seems some of the early Gg bike were inferior in the reliability stakes. What ywar did they start to get better. By what i can make out its around 99 - 2000. I now all these bike will have seen better days BUT every little helps
  17. Hi all. I have looked at an Ossa 250 today. The bike is in superb condition. New ally tank, new hand controls, grips, cables. Original seat, akront rims and ally mudguards. New front and nearly new rear. Runs perfectly. Whats the value please? Many thanks
  18. There is one local to me. Year2000 with rainbow forks!!!!. Looks very very tidy. Not sure about the forks as they feel clunky. The guy is a top bloke. He says its movement of the caliper. Didnt have time to xheck it out. He also had 2 twin shock fantics, a 125 and a 175 both minarelli engines. 125 was £725, the 175 was£859 and the Monty was £1200. Fair orice or not?
  19. Thats the one i was looking at. There is a Montesa 315r local. Year 2000. Vgc for £1200. Would this be better?
  20. £1100 for a 2006 fair?
  21. Hi all, looking for a starter bike. 50 years young Is this a good bike for me or am i better off with a 125 or what? Many thanks
