I had been watching Ebay etc for a frame with V5 to get my project started, but gave up in the end, stupid prices.

I'd like to see that, please do

no probs, once I got enough parts to put on the jig and you can tell what it is, I will do

so far I got GP bodywork as a base, and a cagiva mito evo 125 engine.

hopefully the waterjet parts will be done in a week or so, otherwise I will get the plasma cutter out and start doing it that way, on the to make list is, frame, forks, my own headset, swingarm, fuel tank, lights, etc etc LOL

got a few strange ideas, think I will get frowned out by many, but Im not afraid of trying things and then totally cutting them up if they dont work.

yup, just before the credit crunch. my generosity has been curtailed these days by reality.i have given away for free in the past (mainly 80's early 90's)several italian logbooks,several disc brakes,several sets of forks,2 italian gp frames that i remember plus li frames and a tv 175 frame, hundreds of gearboxes, ancillotti seats and an electronic seat . best not thinking about it really. ive got a tv200 logbook from a bike i cut down in 1987. its old style but its still on the DVLA database OWJ 41**. they have never bothered me about sorn. i might have to look at that for a pension boost if things keep going downhill.got a nice full british registered early Indian gp (narrow innocenti headset/ innocenti pressed forks)for sale soon if you cant be bothered building it froma frame.
