I guess this as as good a place as any to introduce myself.
I'm Nick Gill, and I am a design engineer from Auckland, New Zealand. I'm a huge two stroke enthusiast, however there isn't any decent 2T classes here, so I'm building this TT2 instead. I commute on a Vespa, Lambretta, or my MV Agusta F4.
Anyway, that's enough about me!
I'm building a TT2 currently from scratch.
To begin I bought an F3 donor, but after anguishing about tanks and whether or not to cut the frame up, I've moved on and bought a TT2 frame from Redfox.
It's currently on the water, so I'll put some pics up when it arrives.
Current build will look something like this:
F3 engine cases, 600 crank, 82mm Hi-comp pistons, ported F3 heads with big valves, 900SS cams.
Forks F1 Marzocchi 38mm, F3 swingarm.
Original donor bike
The 400 F3 frame had a VIN plate welded on. Rumour was underneath would be a F1 frame number!
Of course murphys law prevailed and it was only a 350 F3 number, so that made up my mind to sell it on...
Remainder of donor bike with magnesium wheel being fitted
I may start a page when it all comes together, but to be honest I'm more of a lurker than a show-er.
Expect to be pestered by me in times of need and despair
