Hiya all

I've had this Dax for a number of years but only recently got it registered (which was a pain).
It was rescued from someone who's kids had been using it as a field bike, and is fitted with a 6 volt C90 engine, so not a 'pure' Dax, but I've just gone with what I've got.
It goes quite well and will need gearing up as it revs out easily but I have been unable to find modified rear sprockets so if anyone knows where I could get sub 38 tooth rear sprockets then I'd appreciate it, I've already gone up one tooth on the front.

This was the state of the bike when I bought it, handlebars bent, shagged electrics (what there was of them) shagged engine, shagged paintwork, shagged shocks, it even had no seat initially etc.





It's taken way too long to get it to this condition but we regularly get people looking at the bike with interest and laughter.
Hope you like it.

Regards

Wheaty

Excellent job
The best restorations do take a long time
Well worth it
