BetaTechno1999 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Hi, I Just bought a Beta Techno Dougie Lampkin replica. It was in terrible condition as the previous owner neglected the bike big time. I had to buy it, as what a waste of a bike. But to be honest, i think i paid a bit too much for the bike in the condition it was in (£600). On closer inspection nearly every bearing has gone on it and will all need replacing. I am on the lookout for a wokrshop manual. I have the owners manual but it doesn't really go into too much detail. I have started the restoration of the bike and i am finding it hard to source parts for it. I will try to upload some pics when i can.

rich500 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 Iconic bike though so good buy! Had one myself back in the day... John Lampkin should be able to help with sourcing parts. Posts some pics when you can - I'd like to reminisce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabie Posted June 4, 2020 Report Share Posted June 4, 2020 Beta UK have a part website, where you can put in the parts numbers from the above PDF. when i sold mine (a 1999) about 4 ish years ago, getting the plastics was getting a challenge, but you'ld often find old bikes being broken on ebay for parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peterb Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 There is a used trials bike place called North Wales Trials Bikes and parts, run by David Williams, have a look on FB for him, he may well have a few parts for your bike. Tends to deal with the 90's bikes. Bye, Peter B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worldtrialchamp Posted June 5, 2020 Report Share Posted June 5, 2020 that bike looks boned... Is going to cost a fortune and it's still a dinosaur... Move it on unless you want punishment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BetaTechno1999 Posted June 6, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 6, 2020 I may do so when its finished, Its still a very well built bike, even if some retard has owned and wrecked it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98BetaTechno Posted May 15, 2022 Report Share Posted May 15, 2022 That is a 98 techno, cool! I have the same one! Having a real hard time finding a rear caliper. It had an old aftermarket galfer 4pot caliper with an aftermarket bracket that needs rebuilt, but no one has the pots or seals. Trying to find anything that i can use to replace it. The 2000 to 2004 rev, i believe has the same swing arm as the techno. Im waiting for the 00 to 04rev rear caliper bracket to come. With some slight mods i believe a front ajp will bolt on to the rear. This is totally not a fact, but i been at a loss with it and willing to try anything. I have no rear brake, basically the bike is useless to me. Anyone know of any rear calipers or front calipers and bracket that will bolt up to a techno? Goodluck on your build. I love the 98 beta and dont want to let it go. It's in great shape, starts on the 1st or 2nd kick everytime. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
