@fireman ash: 12". (The tires are Schwalbe Raceman 120/70-12 & 130/70-12) The conversion is based on a VESPA GTS300. Brake drum, PK fork and shock absorbers had to be modified. (Shortening the shocks was tricky :biggrin:) If you are interested, I can surely find you some pictures of how it was done...
@tzr.steve: The idea was to create a mix of race optics and custom airbrushing, asymmetrical like a 70's wall paper and colorful like the Zirri Sprinter from the early 80's. Markus Pfeil did a lovely job on that!
@Diablo: They ARE. And I do have a video somewhere, where you can see the speedo in action. I'll post it, as soon as I find it on my fixed disc ;)

cheers, sylvie

Absolutely stunning and beautiful, is that seat solid?
If that was for sale, I think I'd be interested.
What are the performance figures?
