Mac, it's more orange than gold and slightly misty. I picked it up in Surrey and brought it home by bus and skytrain. That was an adventure. I brought stuff with me to cover up the tank and motor like a spy. I even brought some tools and a big backpack in case I had to remove the tank and motor. When I was on the train some ten year old kid walks by and says " whoah, cool bike" I played it cool and said "thanks, man" ... made this old man's day.
I'll take it out in the sun the next day or two and post some proper pics'
Tom, thanks for the warning, and I'll beef up the fenders and braces before I take it out. There is no wheel on the tensioner and the chain is way too long. The seller said it doesn't run but the price I got it for... It's a zoom 66 cc and date of manufacture is 2008 or 2009, can't quite tell. Looks to have only a few miles on it and came with a new speed carb, a spare stock carb, and new heavy chain.
Appears to have head leak and also has the stock evil acorns so that might be the whole issue right there. I'll check it out in the next day or two and let you know. Worst case scenario is I can sell the bicycle without the motor and fenders (which I will keep) for more than I paid. Oh, I love a good score!
