Found these on eBay, spares or repair. what interests me is the 100cc part, the engine just doesn't seem big enough. good looking bike though.

Tiger,
That is too cool. I wish I had that black one in the center photo setting in my garage right now...what a great project. As for the displacement, the cylinder fins can be deceiving. Our little Chinese 2 stroke motors have very deep fins for good cooling. Look at one from the side and you'll see just how small the cylinder actually is. The motor on the bikes in your post might be 100cc but with less fin area. Hard to tell cubic inces from a picture. I wouldn't care if it was only 50cc, I'd still like to have one.
Thanks for sharing.
Tom

If you check the listing its obviously an eBay noob selling as he's put free postage! for £2.60 i might snap me up a bargain considering he'd be contractually obliged to fulfill the sale

If my memory serves me, isn't the pound just a little more than the U.S. Dollar? Does that mean he's selling that bike or those bikes for about $5.00, US? That can't be right!
