fekin lovely...year?

err................it was created in 2009, from a collection of new parts from the 1980's with some modern additions

Tank is a handcrafted alloy copy of the original, everything else is new and machined to a tee for maximum durability, combined with optimal lightness

 

[D6]

well, if you made it, its a job well done
if u didnt,,, its still a beuty

 

[rockchunk]

nice looking bike but would it ride as good as my montesa

 

[JohnnyBoxer]

well, if you made it, its a job well done
if u didnt,,, its still a beauty

Sorry D6, I can't claim any credit for this..............i'm not that clever

The man who did, might make one for me..............with a few alterations to my personal taste of how this particular bike should look, along the lines of the original

The bike above is a 250cc version

This was my 175cc version that I sold earlier in 2009, which was pretty much original.............the 250 is much different, under the skin

Don't look too shabby here......................should be similar

Love it ,had two ty 250,s in the summer,was intending making one out the 2 as they were in a bad way ended up moving them on ebay ,looking at your bike has made me wonder if I made the right move,Ilove old ty,s.I have only bought one brand new bike in my life and it was my first a brand new TY 175 I had just left school and I paid it up on drip I was 16,1980 ish .You turn out some nice bikes Johnny ,well done again.

 

[Pipster]

Love it Johnny Wish I had the patience to restore my TY 175 sat in garage covered in dust Never owned a TY 250 but that looks a corker great to see the old twinshocks being restored ...

Great memories of that era first time on a bike my fathers TY 175 one of the early Orange and white ones

Looks in good nick with the Sammy miller tank but its the engine that needs a rebuild

Looking to get back into Trials in the new year lots of local clubs near me and none of the agro you get when out trail riding ...

Looks great.Dunno about the red rims though. Looks better with gold and best of all with silver. Are you entering anything locally
Trials that is.
