davidbaker Posted December 26, 2007 Report Share Posted December 26, 2007 I am in the middle of rebuilding a Scorpa easy (1997 yellow and grey) and have discovered a crack in the swing arm about an inch or so from the axle end. This is a bummer as I have everything I need for the rebuild and so far it has not cost much but I suspect that might all change if I have to buy a new swing arm. The bike will never be worth much so I would like to avoid the expense of a new swing arm, does anyone out there have a spare for sale or know if they can be repaired (cost effectively) ? An alternative would be if anyone has a whole bike for spares or repair, at least that way I could have a stock of other parts should anything else let go.

davidbaker Posted December 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 the swing arm is cast alloy (not sure what type) rather than box section, do you reckon that is still repairable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidbaker Posted December 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2007 Got sorted, managed to find a none running bike minus a few bits through this forum. Thank you to everyone who PM'd me with suggestions and offers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
