December 28, 201114 yr where is the best place to pick up a pre65 2 stroke? looking at a sprite or james twinshock shop has both but the sprite has a modern carb but should be ok to change over james looks ok.
December 28, 201114 yr I'd ask around at your local club,people do sell decent bikes now and then,at least you have an idea of how well it rides,has been looked after etc.Not saying there is anything wrong at all with the twinshock shop,they have some really nice bikes - I've been dribbling over that green OSSA they have for weeks now.(But I think my wife might notice another bike.....)
December 28, 201114 yr Author the problem up here they dont come up for sale very often good idea though.just hide it.
December 28, 201114 yr It can be difficult,but often worth waiting for.I spent about 8 months looking for a pre unit rigid,eventually I was offered my HT5 by another club member.It upset a few older members who thought they were in line for it,but I ended up with it because I wanted one to ride.It wasnt a rigid,but close enough ! The main thing to bear in mind with any older bike is that there will be a period of time needed to sort the bike to your liking and to get it up to scratch reliability wise,all the time I've had my Ariel,(And all the other old bikes I've had...)its been a constant process of fixing/modding various bits.Its going to come apart now to change gear ratios,sort the clutch and rebuild the front forks. The OSSA would be nice - but I'm sure the kids would let the cat out of the bag.

Hi steve the sprite used to be mine i sold it about 18 months ago it was a good bike to ride i won alot of trials with that bike before i changed to a four stroke.
December 29, 201114 yr I know someone down here in Birmingham who may be selling his Sprite. I can PM you his phone number if you're interested.
