cycleway4 · 06-11-2007, 01:08 PM

my Roketa has 126

TheOtherRide · 06-11-2007, 04:15 PM

128 with 17/45 428 setup on Viva, adjusted all the way forward, original chain & front sprocket. (Dang, doesn't that sound like I know what I'm talking about?) :wink:

The stock 428 06' GY-5 chain is 130 links...

IronFist · 06-12-2007, 06:31 PM

I have checked at three different bike shops to order a 17 tooth/428/front sprocket. I have the list of bikes that match mine. No one can order anything bigger than a 15 tooth, which I have. My wife does not like sending credit card info over the net, so I won't do it. :evil: Getting a little frustrated :evil: I don't know what I'm doing wrong, it should be easy. I think they are trying to order a 520 size and saying 15 is as big as they come.

If anyone is doing a 520 conversion, and they don't need their 17tooth JTF259 front sprocket, PLEASE PM ME :( Name your price, and I'll pay postage too.

I posted this on the "where do I get a 17 tooth sprocket" thread from STcrazy as well.

I would be willing to trade an original soapstone sculpture for a sprocket, if you like art? Cash works too. :roll:

I have one! It's yours if you want it! PM me your address and I'll try to get it sent tomorrow. I offered it to someone but never heard back from them. It might have been STcrazy>

Note for those looking at the 520 conversion, the 163FML2 motor will take a 15 tooth front sprocket, but you will have to do some grinding...

Use a 14 tooth or less!

IronFist · 06-12-2007, 11:49 PM

Wow. Great. WooHoo.

Now if I can only get fatboy250 to send me a set of his cool street tires i'd be set. Well that and the chain, rear sprocket, street front fender, vintage gas tank, (at least mine is metal) Handle bars, one person cruiser seat, and old style chrome bubble light. I hope my motor lasts long enough for me to get all the parts together and strap them on

Can't thank-you enough SamM, really I can't. :o

You can pick up some nifty stuff for your Chi-custom on Ebay.

Look up a store called vintage-cosmo, I know they have the seat you are looking for, tanks, and lots of other cool goodies.

Yes, I stare, I drool, I plan. But, as I said before, my wife doesn't like sending credit card info over the net. I have to go brick and mortor and pay through the nose, or send cash through the mail and hope for the best. Guess I could go money order? Toronto has one really good cycle salvage on the other side of the city. If I had the cash to make the trip worth while, I'd get the wife to drive the car. I'd need the trunk space to hold all the parts.

vintage-cosmo eh? well I'm gonna go drool now. N2r

Dont like to send CC info over the net?

Does she have a problem with CC info over the phone?

Vintage-cosmo is Cosmopolitan Motors, a long time cycle shop and importer of those funky Italian bikes way back.

I'm sure they have a phone number!

IronFist · 06-13-2007, 08:51 PM

That's a good idea ob1. :idea: International parts are way cheaper, even with shipping. Half the price new than we can get up here at a cycle salvage used. Thanks

Ha I'm such a Luddite. All I get from Vintage-cosmo on E-bay is cosmo cat. :mrgreen: It's ok, I know what I want and know I can't afford it yet. Not a chopper or cruiser, more like a cropper
