Hello everyone. My fizzy interest was rekindled recently and I was amazed by the amount of interest when I started googleing. There seems lots of bikes still out there or brought back to life . Got about £2000 for a good fizzy or AP50 (can I say AP50 on this site!) I am looking at ebay and websites such as Autotrader, am I looking in the right places?

:D Yes, keep looking on ebay, and other websites. you will get a very nice one for 2k.
stick out for the modle and year you want, because you will be tempted for the wrong coulour wrong year when you see a nice one.
what is the year and spec you are after?

Possibly but we also have a nice Kenny Roberts DX in Competition Yellow 8-) which is surplus to requirements if the current supposed buyer does stump up the deposit very soon!! :evil:

Thanks. 1977 or earlier. In 1980/1 I had a baja speedblock, then purple and finally a DX in yellow. Still don't know which one I liked best! I'll see what's on offer.

The surplus DX has now been sold
I have a FS1M that Alan Davies used on Teenage Revolution a coule of weeks ago.
Its actually a FS1 but I made it into a FS1M for him.
Bike is good for 47mph all day in loverly condition and a bargain too.

Moving on I have a matching Baja pinstripe frame and engine if you want a project.

We also have a BAJA Speedblock near completion but this will be a lot more money than £2K in fact more like £4K as it will be a minter when finished!

I saw Teenage revolution. Looks great but not what I want. I'll keep looking. Any help will be appreciated.
