Thanks for the reply! Was just wondering if anyone new of them or had tuning done by them to be honest! They seem to do a lot of expansion chambers for scooters and race prepping seems strange for these barrels to have been done by them wondered if there was a tail ha ! There a nice job by the looks of it! They were about in the 70s and 80s and must have been busy by all the pipes that are mentioned when you google it!

Mikeck, now there's a name from my past.
In the 80s they were around at the start of the performance expansion for scooters.
I'm sure they did, but not really known (in the scooter scene) as tuning barrels.
Ordered a new chrome Mikeck for a Malossi 210 Vespa once.
Send it to M Abbey by all means, but if he says it's half decent (compared to today's standards) I'd run them as a piece of history.

I believe one of the Mikeck team now trades as Alleck but I can't find anything via Google!
