Disco Drive
Senior Retro Guru
Well, it happened just as I predicted. Sell car to pay off debts and shortly after, my ultimate dream bike comes along.
Not just in the right colour but the right size... and here’s the kicker- it was located only a forty minute drive away!
It also turned out I knew the seller. What one might call a no brainer then?
The deal was done inside of a week with the frame secreted away in the loft whilst I :
A) arranged for the paint to be refreshed by Jonrock
B) tried to decide on a theme for the build.
C) thought about how I could break the news gently to my better half.
A few months have passed by now and the fuselage is currently with Jon.
I have also (through a process of elimination) decided on the componentry.
I am going for an ultralite inspired build but with certain changes made not just for financial and rarity’s sake but also preference.
Anyway, here’s the fuselage as collected.
