Just whant to show you guys my new toy
Its a 1970s BSA ladys bike with a STILL MS260 engine in the front just like those old freench mopeds called Solex
My intension was to make a nice old looking bike that looked like it just came out of factory ready for a granny
The final product was a well balanced front wheel powered bike that was really easy to ride and also the most confortable i have even rode.
the bike was found in the midle of no where in a field in my friends farm and he lives there for a while but dosent remember since when it was left there do it was a fairly long time. The frame was rusted as **** and it as taken my days of work to get it so be perfectly flat and rust free. The wheel where where just dead had to replace to inner tubes and tires but i managed to find ones that where the same as the factory one.
The handle bar was also in bad shape including all the cables and bearings.
So after something like 1 month is back in the road better than it has even been before! It is illegal over here in the UK but i never used the engine in the road anyway
So what do you think should I add to it?
In my list there is the kill switch, a small support bracket to hold the right side of the fuel tank and the fenders but there where in so bad shape that its taking me to long to do it.
Hope you like it and sorry for the small book that i have written
OHHH and by the way her name is Princess
