August 5, 201610 yr Hello, I'm restoring a 1972 Dalesman MX125 Lynx. I'd like to compare notes with anyone else that knows about these bikes. geurnblanston@gmavt.net thank you
August 5, 201610 yr I took this picture of a Daleman Lynx with Sachs 125 engine at a Ringwood Schoolboy Scrambles Club meeting at Matchams Park in the mid-70s, probably 1976 or 1977. I've never been much good at photography! I did have a Dalesman Sachs of my own at the time but don't have any pictures. It was a separate tank and seat in contract to this one. Good luck with your rebuild. It would be nice to see some pictures sometime.
August 7, 201610 yr Author ajsm18 thank you, that is my exact bike although sold here in the states. Mine is a six speed Puch instead of the Sachs and there are a few important pieces missing in the motor. There have been a couple of partial engines on ebay but out of my price range.

August 9, 201610 yr You're welcome, geurn. My friend had a Puch-engined Dalesman when I had mine. Unfortunately, the chain jumped off the gearbox sprocket and wrapped itself around it, forcing the gear lever shaft away and cracking the crankcase! I imagine spares aren't very plentiful for either Puch or Sachs engined bikes but I thought there was a dealer in the states somewhere.
November 27, 20223 yr Author Well...it's been six years since I first posted. I'm just now getting around to finish this Dalesman. This is it so far!
