fok Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 I've been offered what will end up a very cheap Aprilia Climber in a deal but the owner is unsure of model year..........It's either late 80's or early 90's I think. I assume that I will need to get the frame number to date it accurately rather than just go by the colour scheme? If done by frame number can someone please point me in the direction of where / how to get it dated. My experience of Aprilia road bike dealers & spares availability has been pretty poor, so advice on who to contact if I need parts would also be gratefully received. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fok Posted May 18, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2011 Engine parts: Peter Knight the Rotax man would be my first stop. What parts do you need? I don't know yet until I get my hands on it, but it's stood for at least 8 years so I anticipate a few bit and pieces. I know that Aprilia have a reputation for being poor with road bike parts availability so I'm guessing that this will be a mission to get bits for other than Rotax engine parts.
