  3. Hi just my opinion ,, older montesa , takes time to rebuild and requires ,$$$,,, mechanic exp , berings gears , small pain ,, there are quite a few , montesa engines complete 348 on line in the states under 1000. USD ,, I purchased one few years ago complete cheep ,,,, In good shape , I just got lucky , I have 4 montesas,,, old models ,,, I have a montesa Rickman vr 250 ,, , I rebuilding ,the trans was blown , when I purchased bike ,,,upon,,,, splitting case , gears , needle berings , we’re not in place ,was a mess , WAS BLOWN ,,, , so,, I found a vr short block in Oregon state , from a montesa parts dealer on ebay , I would sell this shelf 348 ,, I on the other side of the world wash state ,, maby you could advertise wanted 348 short block you might get lucky. ,,,, Well good luck ,,,
  4. Hi ,, I like Rickman , cz looks great
  5. Please don’t think negative , old bikes have a value , upon people like certain models , I like a bike with seat , ,, I found a Rickman vr montesa , 1974 , a son inherited it and put it up for sale , had it delivered , just what wanted , ,, had not run for years , little rusty , paid 1200 usd ,, Was so happy got it running , need fit trans shaft , , I carefully boxed it up , like my prize poession , , have since purchased spare engine short block and few other parts , , the engine ran like a monster , hi compression , , so maby ,, find a buyer that likes that model,, and will really app, it , sincerally
  6. Totally the condition , ? Rusty , tires rotten , rims true or bent , seat worn , fuel tank rusty inside , engine running or locked up and froze up ,poss water in engine ,,shifts through gears locked up ,,, carb corrosive frozen , muffler rusted out dented , wheels spin , brakes locked up , chain rusted up cables broken froze , and missing Parts ,,,,,,?,, I purchased a few bikes , , and have a storage container full of some items described above ,, but have rebuilt many , and hauled a. , many times,,,,,

  10. Looks good , Lobito & Astro powered , custom thanks
  11. Hi ,, don’t know everything ,, I have few Bultaco’s ,, so my 2 cents , a pursang 125 I have had a small crankshaft it has 6 bolt head 1970 ish , have rare Sherpa 80 100 cc sure it has small crank has 4 bolt head like , Lobito some models , , think you would need to pull out crank and compare to average 250 , say pursang , or early Alpina Say relative 1970 ish , Check rod Bering size measure Bering surfaces , or go to a professional repair shop with crankshaft ,, O just for idea ,,,,,find a runner engine ,,,, p.s. I suspect the top end was off , exposed weather , can be a real mess ,, I purchased a engine in past , sat exposed cold , the trans gears were , a little rusty to , cheers 2
