73 CZ 250 Project going together
« on: June 13, 2013, 09:20:06 am »
As Pete has n't mastered the fine art of posting photos on Oz VMX, he has asked me to put these up to show you of his progress.

Any number of places in the states sell that stuff, a set of triples cost about $500, Les can supply the brake backplate, I've picked 1 of them up in the states a few years ago & they work great
Interesting paint job on the frame. Will look forward to seeing more photos

Gents,

Thanks for the thumbs up. Never worked on a CZ before so on a big learning curve.

The triple clamps actually came through this forum as slightly used.

New brake arm will let us use a standard modern KTM Husaberg chain guide block.

Nice work Pete & Carl. Quite handy having a son with access to all that machinery and the talent to put it to good VMX use as well as a good old man to help finance things.
Might have to get some drawings together for Carl to do a couple of foreign orders for me... Does he charge in cases of beer like the old man?

Pete,

Not likely. He doesn't really drink but has an expensive playboy lifestyle. Works in USD and AUD at the present :D

The CZ is now alive. Started 4th kick on the new electronic ignition from Les at VMX Unlimited. Motor runs like a clock. Still running the dry clutch and will see how that goes.

Will bring it along (not quite finished) to the Heaven Show day at Penrith.

I had a closer look at this bike at the Show'n'shine on Sunday and loved the frame paint treatment. It's been taken back to bare metal, the welds heated with the oxy to get that hand built look and the bare metal clear coated. It looks great. Frank Stanborough has a similar paint treatment on his Mojo framed Matchless pre 65er.

Sir Firko,

Right you are with the frame treatment. A whole lot of time and detail went into this bike over the rebuild and it is great to see the appreciation that the bike has had already!

I will upload some more photos of the nearly finished bike soon.


Thanks Carl.

Yes it sure does look great alright.

Sexy, very sexy frame job.

You blokes remind me of the father and son team from Tassie, on my kitchen rules.
Except you blokes are Trend-setters 8)

very nice bike
