Hey fellas, is this a pioneer trials bike or a stiletto? I think I can actually get this artifact running. After I bought it ( while loadin it up) to my chagrin I saw a crack in the side cover. A deals a deal in my book so I shake hands and leave. I pulled the cover off today and found the nut that holds a flywheel on the left side came loose and it rubbed on the case and caused the crack. I can fix the crack with my trusty welder. The bike has compression, the jury is still out on spark but, I bet she's gonna run. I appreciate old ass dirtbikes too. I was born in 74 so when it starts it will be the first Ossa I have heard. How cool is that? Image

Thats way cool Saw but I didnt know you were such a yungin but thats ok too. In 74 I met my first street bike and didnt even know it. I am getting it back in running order now but I ended up buying another one while im working on my original one (yami-DS7) but the sound of that bike takes me back to the 70's, it is amazing what sounds and smells do to you !

Ossa, Montessa, Bultaco - the Spanish tri-fecta from the early '70s! (Used to like the orange Montessa "scrambler" 250 from that period!) :thumbup:
