Looks like it. Was £2000 though. Cost £3500 to build. I may do another sometime

Search fantic tx250 on FaceBook. Ask there. Mine is stunning.

I don’t think so. Didn’t want to sell it really. Being collected on Friday.

Hi. Looks like I sold it today.

I've seen the name Bill Pye on here. I found his number, is it ok to just ring him?

It's about 1980. 32mm. What grade oil should I use? And what quantity? Was told 5 or 10 grade and 200ml or maybe 250ml,...bit Vague!

hi guys. I'm needing to change my fork oil and fit spacers as I have an inch of sag. I Dropped front wheel out. Loosened yokes, but can't undo top screw/bolt. All the chrome bit is turning. Did back up but the whole thing is just turning. I'm f****d if I can't get the nut off. Ordered spacers. Will get oil (once I figure out the type and quantity). There's no way I can change the seals. Never done it. How can I hold the chrome bit tight to get the top bolts out? They are 32mm. Cheers!

Morning guys. Thought I'd update. I bought a Fantic 125 from richard Allen. It's one of the ones from Italy. I recon it's a 1980. But unmellested. Original bars, grips, exhaust, even had the lights and speedo. straight as a die. Had it a week. But not riden it other than on my drive. Now looking for a riding buddy and somewhere to go. Think the clutch is a little heavy. It's got a mod on it, but the extension is only about half an inch. If I make something longer, will it lighten? Think i'll change the bars and grips. As its a shame to bend the original ones. Any input much appreciated.

BOLLOCKS!!! Missed it. is it on u-tube, anyone know?

Anybody near me, in Radstock, I'd love to come out for a ride. HAVNT got my bike yet. Still don't know what to do. There are a few modern 125s around at reasonable prices. Fancy a four stroke to.

Hi Jon. What's your surname? Still riding? I want to ride again, but I'm not confident I can still do it! 53 now. Old grey beard. No, not doing much photography! Very little. Thanks again guys.

I'm near bath. Any if you guys local to me? Thanks again for all the advice.

Cheers guys for the observations. Appreciated. All noted. Looked at the eBay link. Yeovil, really local to me to, as I'm in bath. Looks ideal.

Thanks. Yeah, was thinking maybe a 201. But not sure on the rules on age (I'm 53) and mono, route etc. I'll want to start again as a novice. I recon I've a budget of a grand.
