Rickman Zundapp stash on Swapmeet.
« on: August 08, 2013, 05:53:16 am »
This stash has been on the Swapmeet and here before but it's such a decent deal it's worth repeating. Not only can you build a nice resto Rickman Zundapp (which are believe it or not, competitive pre 75 125 racers), you can also use the spare frames to construct whatever Frankenrickman you can envision. As we've mentioned before these frames are the best kept hot rod special secret in VMX. I've seen everything from SL Honda 125 to Triumph 500 engines fitted to these little gems. The frames alone for for around $300-$500 each, the hubs go for $150-$200 apiece and the 35mm Betor forks go for $200. All three frames appear to have good nickel plating...a definite plus.

A word of warning about the swing arm in these when they have the chain oiler built into them I removed the oiler filling boss and the two nuts for the oiler tap and outlet to find large cracks under the bronze weld which couldn't be seen with boss attached same with the tap nuts , bad design drilling holes in a relatively thin and flimsy swingarm would not have taken much for them to completely let go , fixed now but I nearly didn't bother lucky I did.
