I look forward to seeing the rebuild as I net it's going to look fantastic

Thanks very much for your message. I'll be starting it soon but a couple of other bikes to complete first.

I never realised it was this easy to strip down a bike! 😳

[@fanticman]

Yes, just over 5 minutes!!

Whatever you decide to do, I know it will be spot on afterwards. Always a tough decision with a restoration isn’t it. Anything is only original once, as everyone says 😁

[@fanticman]

For sure Alex it needs some thought. I left the Gitane I had before in its original condition, so I'm thinking it might be time to go all out on this one!

@@fanticman if honest, I think it would be the right choice Mark. A sports moped is such a lovely thing to own. Simple (ish) safe due to low speeds (again ish) and such fun to ride. The bonus for owners like me is being able to experience once again that first bit of independence a moped brought, and memories of days long gone by. I do love watching your videos and work, and can’t thank you enough for the deal we put together on my bike 👍

@@alexrankin8263 A perfect description Alex, such great fun to be had going not so fast and reliving those wonderful memories!

Ce gitane testi a été mon deuxième 50cc après une paloma cross il y a 50 ans ( j'ai 63 maintenant ) ✌
