The "bitsa pitty" is almost finished

[Ruby]

Been putting together a pitty from bits and pieces collected from 2 weekends ago. Its almost ready for kick starting!

However, we need to figure out how to wire up the coil and kill switch from this mess:

Anyone got any ideas?

BTW, anyone got any 10" wheels lying around? LOL

If I was you ruby I would of strengthened that frame as they aren't the strongest frame around .
HELLOMOTO and myself have started a bitsa bike as well, here are some of the starting pics. we cut bits off 1 frame to allow the triples and forks to go onto the new frame. and we have strengthened it. more pics soon.

Hey Ruby,
Here is how we strengthened it.

I was thinking of the same. Ricky and I are getting another spool of welding wire this week for his MIG welder.

Good job BTW

 

[pegleg]

I wish we had a mig, we are two ppl who have no idea how to weld using a stick.

lookin good peg

 

[FULL-ON]

how much is it gonna cost when it finished btw it looks good

 

[Ruby]

I'm selling it once its finished. So its not wise to mention what it cost to put together when I'm yet to work out what to sell it for. LOL

 

[tubes380]

so why did you build it in the first place was it to get some money together for your proper pitty??

Investment.

Also my brother Ricky is giving me a bit of mechanical teaching with the building of this pitty.

The sale of this pitty goes towards his 140cc engine in a week or so time.

You probably spent more in petrol going to pick up all the parts, than what your gonna make on it LOL.

Not when the trip was also for picking up a complete Outlaw 125

 

[pitmaster]

i hope you have done your figures correct i cant see what basically is a MXB, selling for more than $150-$200

 

[FULL-ON]

pitmaster is right you probly only get $200-$250 IMO

 

[benox]

Ruby is probably just gone down to the hardware store to get some rope for a hanging. Ruby your going to be very dissapointed when you try and sell it, I doubt your going to make much.. and as I said, it probably cost your more in petrol to drive down and pick up the parts than what your gonna make from it.

Good luck mate!
