greeves Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Hi DIGGLER: Nice one. You have a funny exhaust I have never seen before on a Bultaco. You can find a lot of things for that bike in www.ivancirre.com/tiendanueva/ Big John: don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Another one. What we do in Spain is to use the foot rest from the Bultaco Frontera, that are 1,5 cm. longer, but similar to the Sherpa ones, the balance is much better with those, and it looks really original.

greeves Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 And this 199 I have just finished it this weekend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diggler Posted May 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 The shocks on the bike are the old rock shocks with blue painted springs. Pete Edmundson had some on his stand in the SSDT parc ferme he is going to start selling them again ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 Bloody hell Nick, that didn't take long.... Nice job, very nice So is it coming out to play in the Classic this weekend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nigel dabster Posted May 22, 2006 Report Share Posted May 22, 2006 We always swap the lever perches as you know some times they kick back and a knee in a down facing perch is not nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majman Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Beautiful looking bikes, great restoration jobs. Took me right back looking at those. Well done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toofasttim Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Only mute point is that the small "Sherpa T" roundel decal should be on the face of the white "350" side panel decal. Tear off those Gonelli.com stickers off your mudguards, they aren't needed and of course there should be a white Bultaco decal on the tank, but these plastic tanks don't like decals much do they? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> John, first you start dropping names (Gordon Jackson) then you come up with this. Gawd you're turning into an anorak ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greeves Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 I agree with Big John, it is nice to see old bikes back to its former glory, and in my opinion, the closer to the original, the better. It Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rick1 Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Diggler, I just purchased a 199a that I'm in the process of getting back to competitive form. How would us guys across the pond get ahold of the person selling those rock shocks? Also, where did you source your parts from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woody Posted May 24, 2006 Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Pete had an ad in TMX a couple of weeks ago but I don't have it to hand at the moment. Contact details were in it. The new Rockshocks are a new design, not exact remakes of the old ones, just for your info. New design makes DIY 'fiddling' a lot easier.

diggler Posted May 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 (edited) Big John, the bike is an ex comerfords bike, The longer front exhaust pipe and the removed rear mudguard loop were a mod of the time by Reg May. Dave Renham has the comerfords decals!! Edited May 26, 2006 by DIGGLER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
