old trials fanatic Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Thats uncanny Javier. I've just bought one and you are thinking about it Looks a beaut. Might just model mine on that one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slapshot 3 Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Javier, you know you want to!! Was never a big fan of the Ossa probably because it reminded me of Latin is school, ossa - bone, till the yellow and orange Grippers came out but I have to say that looks pretty superb. Maybe you could get some of your specialist friends to do a restoration job on OTF or Big John, they certainly need some sort of help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toofasttim Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) Now this, IMO, is a tasty Ossa (brakes or not): Edited December 14, 2007 by TooFastTim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 (edited) TooFastTim: Look slowly.................... the engine is a TR-80. Not elegible for Pre categories. Also Reed valve in the admission........... Slapshot; even me I need the help of this specialists. You would not belive how good is that bone............... sorry Ossa.

toofasttim Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nothing a hacksaw won't fix Javier. Still a really nice looking bike. Wonder if the brakes work? You coming out here Javier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 New Zealand?? Bit far from Spain, but a place I would like to go once, and a dream to visit some parts of it riding an old trials bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbosch Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 Well Javier, you said you would not be buying more ****, not bikes, hahaha!!!! .....this bike has the only problem of being an OSSA, the rest is "almost" perfect. I just would complete it with its alloy mudguards and a "more classic" looking silencer.... How much for it??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlosbosch Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I just do it one bike a year, fortunately I still have enough mental sanity to sale some from time to time; on the other hand, unfortunately I still look into the market and find "bargains" like the completely original 159 Sherpa that came from Madrid to my garage last week...

greeves Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 (edited) I am not buying the bike, still to sell 2 bikes before I dare thinking in buying something else.
