interesting bikes found randomly..

[Skub]

There was the Malaguti version too.

I remember a tool around my way had one with two flags tied to the mirrors. I saw him chase two girls along a footpath because they laughed at him. I think the bike struggled to catch them on foot.

Looks like the extras who failed to make the cut for Quadraphenia!

I'd like to see it ridden.

Not everyone’s cup of tea but valued at £4-6 k.

Gotta go for a bit more than that at the sale surely.

That's a real oddity. Nico Bakker frame and swingarm, PVM forged ali wheels (both good), but then Tokico calipers (why not Brembo?), what looks to be a Sachs shock (both middlin/mediocre) and no chain, various bolts loose or missing and a general air of unfinished-ness. Could be a real find, could be a money-pit.

Sachs make some very good shocks, but they're bloody expensive.

The ones I've come across (on Aprilias mainly) have been OK-ish but nothing special. John at Revs hates them, doesn't have a good word to say about them and wil try to avoid working on them if at all possible. But I guess it's all a question of what the OEM can get away with in specifying down to a price.

I'd never heard of these before...

I watched a prog about this bike being built for a well known person. But the sad thing is that he can't ride it legally on the road.
Guess who?

I remember reading about this a couple of years ago so I know the answer - won't say as it'd be cheating. Does he not have a road licence
then?

Yes . But bikes here need to be 100% factory standard.

You win the cheese and pickle sarnie that Weeksy owes me.

French company, they had a stand at the NEC in what must have been a long while back and I spent ages looking at them. I have no idea why but I really like some of the Avinton's. Not keen on that one or my tastes have changed. At the time I really liked (actually still do) the MT 01 and the Avinton is a similar sort of concept.
