Another one of those "I wonder if this'll fit that" situations. A neat job but I'd like  to ask the builder if he thought it was worth all the trouble. The King Scorpion frame is amazingly heavy, made from that generic water pipe the Spaniards often used for their non racing products, whilst the Maico frame is one of the lightest in the business.

Like putting a Porsche 911 engine in a Chevrolet Corvair.  It can be done, but why?
