Hi all,

I have an ETZ251 and I'm based in Cambridgeshire UK. Got the bike in a box of bits during spring this year, with parts of the subframe cut off and most of the tabs removed (abandoned cafe racer project). Here it is on day 1

After welding everything back on, reassembling the remaining bits and sourcing lost parts it's almost MOT ready. This forum has been invaluable throughout the process!

Nice to meet you all and you'll probably see my post with the one remaining issue!

Welcome & good going with your kit bike!

The forks seem a bit tall, but maybe that's an optical illusion or due to the camera angle.

Welcome to the club. Nice looking bike you’ve resurrected, well done.
I bet the rear frame wasn’t too stable while hanging free!

Lovely looking bike,

I hate it when people chop up good bikes just for a silly project that they end up not finishing, or in this case barely starting (?)..


Lovely bike indeed.

My Second TS 150 looked as tall as that. But I did have a 12 two pence pieces in either forkleg holding the springs down. And the preload up. :twisted:


Nice bike Cam, always hankered for one of my own. As I hacked one. Never broke down electrically, blew up twice.. Lots of torque, even two up. Braking was a massive point compared to my TS drummies.
