Re: TV175 barrels
A new tv175 crank in UK is £135 or €118 in Germany. That's the cheapest I found as I bought 1 recently. :shock: I :shock: what I cannot understand is why a vespa crank from the same manufacturers is only a 1/4 the price of a Lambretta crank ? you can buy a 4x cylinder Ford Focus crankshaft for unde...

Re: TV175 barrels
the exhaust is a home made one. We used to call them "outriggers" back in the day- they made a fantastic noise but killed the performance. I used an Indian "42mm "Bigbore" and blocked off the standard exhaust at the rear. I then grafted in an original outlet pipe and chrome...

Re: TV175 barrels
thank you for your advice simon your concern is much appreciated.
I think your components sound like they are in very poor condition so I should think it would be inadvisable for you to offer them to anyone to use on their engine rebuild

Re: TV175 barrels
The TV175 S3 was known in the 1960's as "The Mods Choice". Much better gearing than the TV/GT200 and it didn't shake itself to bits after a few miles either. Power delivery is smooth, and the handling for some reason is better than any other Innocenti produced bike (why? I don't know- it ...

Re: TV175 barrels
There are too many people selling too much crap. you're right there :roll: As for the crank, I would call a reputable tuner and ask him to make you one. I don't know how much your crank kit was going to cost you, but it probably wasn't much less than what I was quoted for a crank. It's a whole lot ...
