Title: Square Barrel 2fiddy
Post by: 090 on August 02, 2007, 07:10:23 pm: (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-5/1259377/IMG_1884.JPG) (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-5/1259377/IMG_1883.JPG) (http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2007-5/1259377/IMG_1885.JPG)

Here are some 'before' photos. Hopefully in the not to distant future there will be some 'afters'. My old man wanted a bike project so i dropped this down to him the other day. He was over the moon! Btw she's still on standard bore....how good is that! While I'm here, does anybody have a colour code for the yellow that these were also painted? Also are there any mods i should do before it gets a make over e.g frame mods etc? It's going to be a racer. Cheers,Brad

Post by: 090 on June 08, 2008, 08:51:10 pm: Wow, its been nearly 12 months since i bought this thing.Finally its her time. Dad had painted the frame and done alot of pollishing. I had the fork tubes done and just recently put a fair slab of hard earned into her. Just a few more parts im waiting on so as to complete it.
A special thanks goes out to Les from Mainly Maico, as he has gone the extra mile for me on this project.
I think he knows my credit card details by heart by now ::).

pre-70 bikes are on the increase around brisbane too. it's a great class.

Post by: firko on June 08, 2008, 10:44:36 pm: Nice Brad. Good to see the old man hasn't gone for the conical front hub and has kept the full width front brake. I was never that brave! The yellow changed from model to model but if you can find a VW colour chart, the colours for each year matched.

Post by: bigk on July 07, 2008, 05:21:11 pm: Sure is a good looking "2 fiddy" and I have never seen a "2 fiddy" before. It does look remarkably like an MC two fifty though :). Nice all the same. WTF is a "2fiddy"?
Cheers,

Title: Re: Square Barrel 2fiddy
Post by: 090 on January 15, 2010, 11:01:18 pm: Yeah if I had it again they would be silver. I still like the look but a nice set of Acront's would have been the go.
