Does anyone else have a bike that you look back more fondly on that it deserves? This was my first project bike. It was really beat up, and I made a lowball offer that the seller accepted. Oops, just bought a project!
Redid the fork seals, the whole braking system, chain and sprockets, tires... But there were still even more problems than I had time for (paint, rust, fuelling weirdness, rear shock issues). I always wish I still had it until I remember how much more work it needed.
Probably my 2006 Rieju MRX50 or 2005 Aprilia RS50, both bought as projects, never got them to be road legal, but had a lot of fun wrenching and riding them.
I technically still own them, but now I live on the other side of the world, maybe I'll bring them here someday
