Italjet mini bambino

[lewigreg]

Hi peeps,

i posted the other week about me digging out my old motorbike from my mum and dads and i was wondering what it was. You guys informed me it was a Italjet mini bambino - i am now looking at restoring it.

Over the weekend i have stripped and cleaned it the best i can. My dad is going to get it sprayed up to the original colour this week at his work (he does this sort of stuff). I was wondering though when cleaning the chrome parts this weekend i have noticed the chrome on the handlebars has pitted slightly.

Are there any tips for getting these back into good condition or will the need re-chroming?

Also any tips on what to use for the engine/other bits around it?

I am also still struggling to find the original decal that was on the bike - this was a red and white striped with a blue bit at the side of the striped with a circle of little gold stars. With Italjet running over the red and white stripes.

If anyone could recommend somewhere to source on of these it would be appreciated!

I will upload some pics soon




Cheers!
