hey guys I'm in the middle of a small two stroke engine café build and was out hunting for 35mm forks (the old stanchions are shot) when I was offered the ones off this for £50 on the condition that I took the whole bike.
tank, seat, rad guards and bars are missing, on the plus side she was a runner, and the engine still turns over, and dispite the surface rust, a good solid frame. This is what she looked like new.
now I know projects are like girlfriends, more than one at a time can be dangerous so what to do. take the forks, front wheel, and brake off and ditch the rest, or get it running, fab a tank, and seat and have a fun little tracker for the summer? Never rode a Pampera but they got great reviews and are supposedly one of the closest things to a road legal trials bike, the kind of bike you could ride to work during the week and thrash the nuts off along the forest trails at the weekend. Opinions welcome!
