Sweet ride. I’m trying my best not to split them up. I’m a softy like that. When the factory closed in Spain I got emotional about it. Anybody who has riden one knows why. If I get into the winter and still have them then it’s new project time.
If someone is interested in making an offer on the one I’ve got running and just ran the True Grits Rally on, feel free to bump this thread; since I’m still not sure how the enable PM’s within my privacy settings.
This is a rad ad but Ed needs to fix his contact info. https://sfbay.craigslist.org/scz/bar/d/santa-cruz-4-bike-race-team-small-fast/7080913335.html
Same here. But I need to fix one first (waterpump seal failed about 20 minutes after I started riding it, as yet unresolved including the frame repairs). Then MAYBE I can see about adding another tiddler to the stable.
Bummer. I usually start all my parts hunts at UK eBay... https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Derbi-Senda-50-R-DRD-PRO-05-OEM-Water-Pump-Cover-Gasket-/174069269269
Close, but the seal I'm looking for prevents coolant from entering the crankcase and blending up a mocha colored milkshake. Leaking to atmosphere? Easy fix. Leaking into gear box? That's the next rebuild project for this spring. I reached out to Calamari for parts and help and I think that they are going to hook me up (or point me in the right direction).
Gotcha...Calamari are good people. They did a rebuild on one of my YSR motors years ago. Sad to say the best of the stable went up for sale today. https://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/mcy/d/duluth-derbi-gpr-50/7083743288.html
