April 6, 200917 yr 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 ! Is this fantic obsession curable or do I have to go to a 12 step program ? Glenn
April 7, 200917 yr 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
April 7, 200917 yr 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.
April 7, 200917 yr Oh and buy the way the fantic obssetion just gets worse, you will catch the enduro bike strain soon , that will open a whole new world of desire
April 7, 200917 yr Author 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 ...
April 7, 200917 yr 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.

January 11, 20179 yr Hi Glenn, please can you let me know the bar clamp bolt sizes in your bike, mine are not original as you can see, are they M8x50mm with M6 head like on early 125 trial 32mm yokes? Otherwise this little bike has had one owner from new, I bought a few months ago just in the process of restoring. Its very original apart from peddles and these bolts?? I hope you can help. Cheers Pete.
January 12, 20179 yr Author I'll have a look this evening , if I get a chance to go out to the shop ....
January 13, 20179 yr Author Ok I looked and took some pictures ... Mine has allan bolts , flush into the clamps , I would believe that is as built !
