May 22, 200620 yr Hi DIGGLER: Nice one. You have a funny exhaust I have never seen before on a Bultaco. You can find a lot of things for that bike in www.ivancirre.com/tiendanueva/ Big John: don
May 22, 200620 yr Another one. What we do in Spain is to use the foot rest from the Bultaco Frontera, that are 1,5 cm. longer, but similar to the Sherpa ones, the balance is much better with those, and it looks really original.
May 22, 200620 yr Author The shocks on the bike are the old rock shocks with blue painted springs. Pete Edmundson had some on his stand in the SSDT parc ferme he is going to start selling them again !
May 22, 200620 yr Bloody hell Nick, that didn't take long.... Nice job, very nice So is it coming out to play in the Classic this weekend?
May 22, 200620 yr We always swap the lever perches as you know some times they kick back and a knee in a down facing perch is not nice.
May 23, 200620 yr Beautiful looking bikes, great restoration jobs. Took me right back looking at those. Well done!
May 24, 200620 yr Only mute point is that the small "Sherpa T" roundel decal should be on the face of the white "350" side panel decal. Tear off those Gonelli.com stickers off your mudguards, they aren't needed and of course there should be a white Bultaco decal on the tank, but these plastic tanks don't like decals much do they? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> John, first you start dropping names (Gordon Jackson) then you come up with this. Gawd you're turning into an anorak !
May 24, 200620 yr I agree with Big John, it is nice to see old bikes back to its former glory, and in my opinion, the closer to the original, the better. It
May 24, 200620 yr Diggler, I just purchased a 199a that I'm in the process of getting back to competitive form. How would us guys across the pond get ahold of the person selling those rock shocks? Also, where did you source your parts from?
May 24, 200620 yr Pete had an ad in TMX a couple of weeks ago but I don't have it to hand at the moment. Contact details were in it. The new Rockshocks are a new design, not exact remakes of the old ones, just for your info. New design makes DIY 'fiddling' a lot easier.
May 26, 200620 yr Author Big John, the bike is an ex comerfords bike, The longer front exhaust pipe and the removed rear mudguard loop were a mod of the time by Reg May. Dave Renham has the comerfords decals!! Edited May 26, 200620 yr by DIGGLER
