Sweeet Maurice. Those mid seventies Kato/Pentons are, to my eyes amongst the prettiest VMX bikes.

Parts were not too bad to find, the only problem was getting a pipe which still is not completely resolved as the one on there is actually for a GS and doesn't fit quite right

Firko you actually posted the link to this bike on Swapmeet a couple months ago and I decided to buy it.

I actually got offered a 77 400 also when I was looking for parts and ended up buying it also so that will be my next build but it will be an orange Penton when done

There is a local guy who makes pipes for this model that work great if your interested as the postage is a killer.
