General Discussion / aesthetical/ethical dilema
« on: December 03, 2007, 09:07:26 PM »
I would be interested on the members comments,
I bought a Mk 11 bultaco frontera about 15 years ago. the bike was stuffed, but never mind. In a rush of enthusiasm rebored and re jetting to factory specs.
Fast forward to 2007 (things take time in the country) some good advice from Mark Austin,cdi ignition sourced(Bultaco Parts Vic)and also suspension (YSS).
Now as Basil Faulty said, "piece of cake,now the tricky bit".
To be honest, the original blue colour has never excited me (Mark your resto job looks great), but I wonder what those Spanish paint guys were thinking, especially on the frame!
Yes I had a 74 Alpina and the blue was not so far removed, but my gut is telling me go silver and red, maybee everytime I look at a 72 Matadore I reflect my preferences.
But what do you reckon, preserve or conserve?

Hi Rod,
yes the headlight is genuine, with some damage to the plastic surround which is faded. i can't remember if the side stand lug is on the frame, I am about 400km from it and there is no one who can check it out for me before the weekend. Sorry no pics

Introductions / searbs from the south
« on: October 22, 2007, 10:27:28 PM »
Searbs here,
I love Spanish bikes, have a few Bultacos in the shed, and some Yamaha xt 500 clones in various stages of rebirth. This is a great site , and have already had some much appreciated help from Mark A. Brent J's Yam stuff is first class.
Reading the topics from all the various members re their projects is inspirational.
Never raced, have no intention to, a liesurely trail ride is my preference.
My 20yo son enjoys the vmx stuff too!
