Jeez VMX60, the red-framed Falta replicas were positively funky while Honda still had black frames and silver tanks - then Honda pinched the red frame idea from CZ...  |

I thought that Honda stole the red frame from Maico?

Nope, Maicos had silver frames (and, earlier, black) until the 77 AW models. IIRC Honda frames went red in 76 - others will know more though.

If you don't like the look of VMX60's Rickman CZ DBA you're going to positively hate my upcoming Maico Metisse built using the same basic Rickman Zundapp frame. CZ powered CZs are behind every bush but a CZ Metisse is something unique. Dare to be different Murray  .  |

I have seen that creation before, and it looks good, I just see the cz engine is more suited to its original frame, I think the barrels on the maico help it look more suited as they are teller barrels for a metisse frame.

I love the look of the CZ motor in that frame, but then I reckon they look good at any time. I too have a Montesa Rickman frame in the wings (thanks Firko) that I thought would be a good recipient for a Cooper motor. Another idea for another day  |

I thought would be a good recipient for a Cooper motor. Another idea for another day I may put my Cooper engine in my little Metisse yet Monte. I've stuck a few in there including a Triumph 500 and they all fit, the Cooper (Moto Islo) being the neatest. However I find it hard to go past the visual impact the Maico engine provides. I'm not building mine as a serious race bike, it's to be more a Classic Dirt/Bonanza fun bike. With a pre 75 frame pre 65 bodywork and a pre 70 engine it doesn't fit comfortably into any category except the fun factor category  . |

I like the look of the engine in the metisse, a smaller tank would look better in my eyes though as that 1 looks enormous. Other thing I think you need to look at is the Falta pipe you've fitted which is not the most attractive, the earlier pipes look nicer to my eyes Colour wise have a look at the photos of my 380, the orange is lighter/brighter than a sidepiper & could be worth looking at http://ozvmx.com/community/index.php?topic=5125.15Bound to be a few shots in daylight of it on the livewire site |

Firko Thanks for the encouragement we all like to think we have different ideas Tony Agree with you but the only tank that fits is a rickman . Ben in the UK can do the early mk3 top with mk4 bottom to fit this frame very nice in f/glass all at a price . Trying to use parts out of my shed that Falta pipe is the only spare pipe as would have to rob one off a complete running CZ bike or buy one off GMC This project was mainly to build a race bike out of spares that I have collected over the years Also two Zundapp have just poped up on Ebay in Victoria with the larger twin rail cradle for the 4 stroke projects Cheers |
