Primavera frame jig

[storkfoot]

Asking for a mate who has just bought one that has been cutdown.

I think I've heard of someone with a jig for a small frame. Am I right? if so, who please?

This is your man:

Used to work a company called Rawlings in Somerset.

Only pullling your plonker on the Rawlings bit, I am still no wiser on that

Cheers for that. Not too far from us either. Pity he's got to go all the way to St Austell to pick the scoot up

I've used John, as have a number of the lads on the smallframe forum, and he's top class. He also does most Vespa frames from very early up to P range. If I'm not mistaken he bought it from Mike Clarke (is that right?) from Bristol when he closed up.

Thanks. I had a recollection that there was one in or around Bristol, so that makes sense.

My mate was just going to get "someone at work" to weld on the back section (he's got one lined up to buy apparently). I'm trying to encourage him to get it done right and checked properly as he's talking about getting a 135 kit.

Much to my chagrin, he's talking about Lambretta forks I'm not up to speed on small frames so, if anyone can give me any information to show that is a bad idea, I would be appreciative

I wouldn't really say it was a bad idea in most cases, if that's what he likes then fair enough. The only stumbling block is when it's a really rare model but then again if his money and machine he can please himself. I wouldn't be expecting any handling upgrade from Innocenti products but some of the more recently developed bits may be better if he's set on a twin legged fork. But get the frame itself sorted at least.

Lammy forks in a small frame





Who would do that
I just need a decent muddy now, I want a cheap Indian GP/Allwyn one if poss.
Juans right, no different on the handling, but I like the look.
And its totally reversible as I had a spare set chopped to do it.

There was a guy fitting a disc front end to a small frame, I don't know the outcome of this as the thread kinda went dead, this would help with the handeling, just a thought.

It's a '68 Primmy in a bit of state by the sounds of it, but the price was good. I had visions of the frame needing all sorts of alterations to accommodate the forks, so that's good that it doesn't

Do any of you lads know which Lambretta forks are a straight fit and what mudguard will work please?

I'm clearly coming round to the idea
