Ihave an idea! Make a tribute bike for it from the other racer ;)

Oh, man that's so sad. I loved they way it looked :( It was one of my favorite bikes out here.

Re: Greetings from Latvia (intro included) So, I finally got the camera again and I have made a very big progress on my bike. I loved how the primer looked with black and I decided to paint the bike pale gray and the lugged frame pieces black. I've put an old aluminum wedge stem from my old MTB...

Re: stopt with my second rat but started with number 3 those first two donors were ugly as heck :D

Re: long, low and slow x-53 (5-27 skirts and chain guard ON) this bike should be heavy. I like the big headlamp. And it looks better without a mudguard :)

Huh, reading about the trouble you got in, I realised, that my country rocks. The worst case scenario would be taking that bench down and going home :D

This bike is stunning. Love the front light, bars, color and it looks sporty.

very cool paint scheme. yellow and green makes that bike look small :) Fenders are looking strong and the chainguard is like a touch of childiness on that serious bike. nice work :)

Oh, they are real pain in the a** :D They are heavy, engine is breaking very often and the parts are expensive, because it's vintage. My brother had one. It was fun to ride with it in the winter, but those old two stroke engines are not very reliable :)

Re: Greetings from Latvia (intro included) Went to the bike shop today and unfortunately they had no spokes :( Driving back home, I came with an idea, I will repaint the whole bike. Today I started stripping the paint and I finished painting rims. Here are some pictures finally. Sorry for the...

ratrodman39, is that bike yours? looks like Czech motorcycle Cezetta.

mm, tasty color :) I love the geometry of the frame, reminds of vintage motorcycles.

Re: Greetings from Latvia (intro included) I had laced one BMX wheel, but the truing was too hard for me :D but now I'll try to do everything by myself and if I'll give up, I'll give those to bike mechanic in my town, only ~3 euros for truing both wheels :)

Re: Greetings from Latvia (intro included) No, I don't think so. I don't have a big lacing experience, but I have 2 wheelsets in my garage, on which I'll train. I don't have camera right now, so I can't get any pictures, but the rims are primered already.

These bikes look so tasty! Love the wheels :) Keep up the good work.
