axulsuv Posted April 6, 2009 Report Share Posted April 6, 2009 I just unpacked , reassembled , and rode my new toy ... And I have one trivia ? to ask , Who's signature is that on my bicycle ? And boy am I out of shape , 3 minutes on it and I'm beat !!! I can't imagine what it'll be like when I take the 40 tooth front sprocket off and put the stock 28 back on ......... But it's all stock right down to the domino levers and grips ! Is this fantic obsession curable or do I have to go to a 12 step program ?

steve fracy Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Glenn: that autograph is from Jean Pierre Goy. He was a trick rider from France who was sponsored by Fantic back in the day. He was one of the first to do the travelling stadium trial show. he was quite good too. Now what do I win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wherry Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Glenn. If you're interested I took some pictures of him on his Fantic back in 1984 at the Kickstart TV programme. KICKSTART101 on here has put them up on Facebook Here towards the bottom of the page. Nice looking bike by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billycraig Posted April 7, 2009 Report Share Posted April 7, 2009 Here's mine, picture is from the SSDT quite a while ago. Snapped the bars several times but the plastic domino grips are still my favorite grips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fantic300r Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi Glenn, please can you let me know the bar clamp bolt sizes in your bike, mine are not original as you can see, are they M8x50mm with M6 head like on early 125 trial 32mm yokes? Otherwise this little bike has had one owner from new, I bought a few months ago just in the process of restoring. Its very original apart from peddles and these bolts?? I hope you can help. Cheers Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
