Ossa phantom

[OSSA Fan]

Small world this. Just bought a OSSA fuel tank off BigK. Arrived today.
I've found that with the gearbox you have to be very firm in shifting and move the lever in its full travel.
I wear size 11 boots and its still a reach to the lever. Some blokes have shortened the gearlever to make it easier.

Ahhhhhh go on Paul - it's only money. One decent tree felling job and the Ossa's yours, lol

Hey paul maybe I should sell that skateboard deck to MR T.H. and that would be a good deposit on that Phantom.

This might be a sign as that deck is called the "PHANTASMAGORIA".

1974 Phantoms are in my top five pre 1975 vmx list:

1: yamaha yz360a
2: twinport cz
3: ossa phantoms
4: maico 501
5: 1974 kx250  tossing up between a falta CZ.

Is that VMX'ers to race or VMX'ers to invest in?

[YZ360A]

MX250 IN MY OPINION,

TO RACE, INVEST, TO LOOK AT. (MAICO 501 MAYBE NOT TO RACE).

We have a Texas racer-Joe Busby who not only races his 501 Maico, but it is the excact bike he owned in 1973- he found it and bought back in 1993. Bike works very well, runs great too. Then again, it is not a zero hr original.

HERE'S ONE THAT JUST FINSHED IN THE USA THIS MORNING READY TO RACE.

THERE SEEMS TO BE QUITE A FEW ON EBAY IN THE US AND ALOT GO ALOT CHEAPER THAN THIS.
YOU ALSO SEE THE 125 AND 175 FROM TIME TO TIME.

I'M JUST A BIT SUSS ON THE GEAR BOX DESCRIPTION FOR THE AUSSIE ONE.

Yep that one was the one to get.

Nice colour. he has done a good job on setting it up as it looks porn, much better than the blue orange look.
and a rebuilt motor has to be big bonus.

[T250K]

 Yep, good memory Rosco, I'm still looking, thanks for bringing this one up.   Last few days I've been busy chasing the one in California.  Had been raced fairly hard but care taken to get it back into shape. Emulators in the forks, good shocks, Mikuni, and big engine rebuild including Yamaha rod and modified gear selectors.  But someone over there really knows how to handle an Ebay bid - nailed the reserve exactly in the closing seconds.         Maybe next time, eh ?    Cheers,  T250

[Freakshow]

thats a snipe thats all, you can use em too.  the software drops the bid with 7 seconds to go ( or whatever you set) sign up get 3 free, rest are a pissy percentage, and youll never miss an overnight close again, or pump up an auction before it closes.

I'm back 

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:VRI&item=110199005783

Passed in with no bids at $6500. Now back starting at $1000, "reserve not met"

[OSSA Fan]

The way the bidding is going it would of been easier to win it the first time round. Up to $5300 with a day or so to go.
I think I've got wind of another one locally...have to wait to find out...
