I took these photos at Mersea where Frank and Paul had a number of new products for Lambrettas. They have identified through their Scomadi projects that there is still the need for new products for traditional Lambrettas.
This shock is pre-production. The body will be the gun-metal grey similar to the one shown.
There is adjustment for length, pre-load, slow and fast damping, has rubber bushes and it will make the tea if you're luck. Price will should be under £200, which sounds pretty good.
Frank's desire to fit better brakes into standard forks has shown him that you can't get straight forks any more. Frank and Paul are now manufacturering forks from scratch, including new pressed bottoms, which will be almost seemlessly TIG welded without an overlap. A new stem and saddle will be manufactured to suit all models and the bottom rebound rubber will be bolt-in.
Finally, here is a pre-production version of PM's new front fork link which will take a traditional spring, or external spring. The hole for the internal spring ball will be enlarged.
This was the first time I had met Paul and Frank. Nice guys with plenty of commitment to pushing the boundaries and perceptions of modern scootering.
