1978 Romet 49cc

Its going to be a winter project, paintwork isnt as good as it looks the preparation seems very good but putting the paint on well defeated the previous owner, a few other little jobs and i'll have a nice little oddity for next summer.

It has very old world basic engineering, obviously built down to a very low price by eastern bloc workers back in the 70's

Are you SURE the paint isn't original? I've seen MZs that colour.

That said, my old Russian bike was enamelled.

Why so many Thumbs Up?

I think it's shit.


Can you stop being a fucking child. I have some serious credit your way for doing your engine and the like, but useless inane unwanted comments just aren't needed. People like different things, I don't like Fazers or HID kits, but I'm not taking a runny shit in your threads. Thumbs Up
