Did a motorbike tour of Vietnam in December, bought an old "Honda" Win, which was a vietnamese copy, 110cc. Was a great little bike, similar design to the A100 but four stroke engine.

Cool update - thanks . You might be able to pick up a frame from ebay or even patch the one you have - meanwhile a second lease of life as an off-roader is not so bad!

To rusty to get on the road? Piffle!
C’mo You can do it! Stop putting hurdles in the way of progress.
Fix one small thing at a time.
I had two A 100’s years ago and they were in a worse state than that when I got them.
Both of them went to new owners who put them on the road.
I did it small steps at a time ie one week a throttle cable, a month later a new chain and so on.
I was lucky that I had an arc welder and various bits of metal to repair a rusty patch on the pressed metal frame. ____________________ I am the sum total of my own existence, what went before makes me who I am now! |

Personally, I think it looked better 4 years ago before you started this massive "restoration".

It looks a step backwards to me. It was bog standard and just needed a bit of rust sorting and rechroming. Now it's a tatty field bike with mis-matched bodywork and inappropriate tyres. ____________________ TZR250 2MA road, TZR250 1KT road, TZR250 2MA race, TDR250, YZF-750R Boost colours.

Indeed so, very similar machines - pressed steel frame, disc valve 2T motor etc.. ____________________ Now: A100, GT250A, XJ598, FZ750

I agree it looked better before, would of been a great bike to restore to concourse. especially with it being a rare model.
I would love another A100 but good ones are about 4k now ____________________ Be a REAL MAN! |

Genuinely a lot of old roads around here, great for spinning about.
Bike turned out pretty well, still starts so easily and runs beautifully. He's ordered a new rear mudguard along with a few other bits, could do with an exhaust and decals.
