69 GP200 Build finally finished after 3 yrs

Postby johnspeed22/2 » Sat Sep 06, 2014 9:13 pm

Back from the grave After 3 years of pain finding correct parts.... there are some nice NOS parts on this bike and original stuff like CEV lights,genuine locks and keys osam/fisam/cama, refurbed veglia speedo by Jem Booth 8-) ,NOS forks,Campagnolo disc,genuine mudflap,dimpled innocenti rims,Early silme seat,NOS engine control arms and linkages,correct air scoop,grey plastic toolbox,body colour alloy frame grille,correct early GP headcowl with deflector and carb duct the list goes on!!

I had the frame Jigged at Gransport by John "top bloke" and commenced dry build last summer after 2 frustrating years of collecting parts,note i had Indian and italian R/H runner boards for this bike for future engine options indian ones cut for JL3 however i like the factory look and have other tuned scooters.

beautiful, absolutely gorgeous.

Brevetto means 'copyright' by the way......

The disc brake was made by the wonderful Campagnolo, yes, the same people that still make the finest cycle gear sets!
