Thanks for the advice. My wombat is probably in worse cosmetical condition than any other one you have seen. It was converted in to a trials bike about 35 years ago. Then it sat in a barn for about 30 years. Now I have it.
Parts changed:
Frame
Gas tank
Seat
Air box
Shifter lever
Rear brake lever
Fenders
Handlebars
Kill switch
Kick start
Skid plate
Suspension
Foot pegs
Forks
Etc.
Yeah it was changed a lot, still a cool bike though. Many bultaco parts.
I haven't actually ridden a trials event yet, but I have ridden a Beta Zero and a Sherpa T and actually enjoyed the Sherpa a bit more. If I were you I would go vintage, but it is up to you. If you wanted to set up a practice section you could set up a few logs and practice wheelieing over them or doing really slow tight-turns. That's what I have done.
Does anyone know where and how to get a 1975 Sherpa T slimline gas tank? Thanks.
Also wanted to say that I have ridden a total of 4 bultacos, 2 Sherpas 2 alpinas.
Hello! I got a TL125 about 2 years ago and love it. Haven't ridden it in a trials event yet but plans to this summer if I can. Lots of trail riding fun with it!
I will put up a picture whenever I get one.
