That looks good Loz seems to be all there and original I think even a good clean would make a big difference.

Excellent find Loz. They're a rare little bike, my mate had one back in the day and I had a TS50ER look after that one it's a good find, well done.

My first road bike brand new from David Masons. £1.04 to fill her up, lasted two weeks.. Flat out at 34mph with all the fizzers flying past..

got home from work today,and could not sit still,i was so keen to see what this little bike looked like after some TFR and a jet wash,rather chuffed to say the least this looks like its going to be a cheaper resto,than my other bikes,allready got a pair of good shiny handle bars,the rack looks like it will come good with some autosol,and the rest is just primer, base coat and clear coat,will start the strip in the morning,and post pics on this thread,for anyone who is interested. ps I was very naughty and went down the road on it,it touched 47mph but a car got in the way,so I don't like its restricted

47mph? Are you sure that wasn't KPH mate? no mate it as a mph clock fitted,put it this way I would not jump off it at that speed,i am now sure it as the 70/80 barrel and piston fitted,it would have got a bit faster if I was so stupid to red line it,plus it running on the fuel that's been in the tank forever. ha ha ha I know why it went well,its because its a black bike LOL

you could turn that round with little effort for a tidy profit. Great find.
