That's a give away price. I just sold one that wasn't a hard tail for $450 a couple months ago. no wiring on it even. Jump on it. Enjoy it or Sell for profit.

If I get it its for my personal collection

Greetings:

How hard is it to ...
Dude! Swap in a DIO!!?

The ZA50s fall into my category of Very Desirable Uselessness. Too small for cross-country touring, not 'nuff suspension for motocross, not enough power for the Quarter Mile. But I want one anyway. Hope you score B^3.

dude jump on it if you dont want it down the road jump on planetminis.com and sell it for a profit

buy it. swap in 140cc lifan. try not to kill yourself.

I'd try to get him down a bit, hardtail parts are a bit expensive. If it has the original carb, it might be a good price. I paid $50 for mine.

Here's mine I had to sell to buy a car.




And the Carburetor

Had a friend do the original Candy Apple Red.

Two other bikes I rebuilt.



Sorry for the threadjack.

It's a 1971 Schwinn Twinn. I ended up selling for $350. Not enough room. They are HEAVY. I think this one weighed like 65 pounds. I completely tore it down, cleaned everything and had it powdercoated orange. The wife would not ride with me, so I rode it myself, let me tell you, that was a treat for the legs...

i bet you could have gotten more then 350. I had thought at first it was a Schwinn. i love working at a bike shop. hahah

Soo i ended up getting it. Its missing the headlight, taillight, airbox, and some wiring. Its not starting but the seller said it ran when parked. I downloaded the service manual already and printed it out at work. I put some gas in it And it has a leak at the petcock. Im at a wedding now but ill take some pics when i get home. Im dying to tear into it and get started.

Lots of "knock off" parts for em glad you got it never a waste of money buying those, lots of fun and a big following too.

Nice - I got in late on the thread, click the C/L link and it was deleted. Glad you got it I know this one couldn't find a better home. Have fun

I have some bolts and nuts and such from my build, some are original "8" bolts that just need to be cleaned. I also have a exhaust heat shield repop, never used. I'll go through them tomorrow if you'd like, you can have them for shipping.
