Well its getting towards that winter time building of my 2nd fizzy. I started collecting bits and bobs about 3 years ago when a guy came up to me at a bike show where I had my Popsicle fizz on the RD stand. He asked whos it was then informed me he had a few bits in a tea chest that came on the back of a farm trailer he had bought some years earlier. anyway I travelled 80 miles or so to look at the expected pile of shirt. I was pleasantly suprised by what I saw. The tax disc indicated it came off the road in the first year of its life and the speedo showed less than 5K miles to confirm this. ![]() Pedal crank ,headlight,crash bars showed signs of a heavey spill and this is probably why the bike was stripped. ![]() I would say this was about 55% complete. Items immediately noticable as missing were frame wheels wiring loom ignition coil rectifier ![]() I have sinced sourced a frame from Nat many other bits such as a nos ignition switch from Dave I have spent around £140 on Nos bits and probably about £400 in total so far. The aim is a tidy usable Fizz my wife can use but not to spend over £600. I need a front wheel hub and a right hand pedal crank,head bearing set and I am ready to start! I will keep you posted on this thread so try and keep it clear and clean! Cheers Dom |

Well I hav been in the shed and made some room at last! Have made some decisions as cost would spiral if i dont draw a line somewhere. ![]() Going to put original mudguards on. rechrome for this ,the front and the pipe £230 is not an option.I had hoped a mate was going to thailand and could get them done less than a quarter of this price. ![]() pitted a bit but certainly not rotten. also the brake pedal/kickstartand gear levers are getting painted. |
