3tj6 873 Posted March 26, 2020 So was getting a lot of parts from Redbimota on the rd lc forum, the guys a legend, looking at lining the bike up using fzr 3tj forks and wheels with a dt 125 lc swingarm, using a 520 chain , a rd lc forum member in South Africa has done this , but you only have a couple of mm clearence between chain n tyre? So went to look for a metmachex or jmc swingarm, couldn’t see any, on the usual sites , so tried Shpock, hmmm
£150 thanks

Started with a ypvs bottom end from italy €200 delivered, next some 31k barrels from muttsnutts in yorkshire from rd lc forum , on the lookout for a lc frame loads in germany , but most of the sellers seemed reluctant to post to uk🤷♂️Put a load of searches in ebay no luck🤦♂️Put wanted add on rd lc forum no luck
Then one Saturday teatime, just looking on ebay , some low mileage bits for a 250 lc started appearing, sent seller a quick message, you got a frame mate? , as soon as finished txting , got a reply yes mate 👍
are you open to sensible offers i txt , yes i get reply, £250 i put , ha ha he puts back , have you seen what rusty old shit is fetching nowadays on ebay 😂i put a sensible offer in and say can pay cash and pick up tomorrow morning , no ebay fee’s dont list it , he accepted the offer 👍 so i get of to Essex at 6 in the morning, wife not happy 😂 you spending shitloads on bikes again, yes thanks , so I picked up a 1 owner 30000kms frame on a A plate with all the mot certificates and tax discs👍 That started in September 2016 got the frame April 2017 . Will put some pics up soon parts have come from allover the world hence United Nations lc 😉

Bike looks lovely, the blue colour scheme is great, are you using plastic primer before painting the plastic parts ?

Yes mate, I painted my bodywork and it looks mint but it seems to be a ball ache posting pictures on here , other forums you just go to add photo through a separate box to post the pictures, thats why I haven’t posted about my hybrid on here🤦♂️

You can buy a 2 pack lacquer specifically for alloy , it has a etch type product in it and ‘sticks’ to alloy ok , ive done diamond cut car alloys with it before no problem , think was mipa brand , ask a bodyshop motor factors like brown brothers or Lkq coatings

Much as the farm/ horse option would give more room and out buildings, im now in my 50’s with kids and don’t really want to renovate any more properties, so a new build or recently built house would be preferred as long as it has a double garage 👍
