Superb 500cm3 T100 in its original state but in perfect condition, including the paintwork and with original history and papers from 1960 (USA). It was in Switzerland for a long time and at a collector's, model "Moto Baignoire" normally bodied at the rear (see photo of original model found on the net). I started this project to modify it into a model without this horrible rear bodywork in 2014 but abandoned the project a few years ago due to private and financial worries but always kept it warm with great care. I currently want to part with it to finance a professional project. The bodywork is dismantled (I still have all the parts apart from the seat) to make a model resembling a Bonneville but lighter. The big oil tank and battery holder have been removed from the middle of the frame for aesthetic reasons and to save weight (see photos). New parts still need to be adjusted and fitted, like the aluminium front and rear mudguards, and a new aluminium oil tank that needs polishing and plugging in (fixings already in place, see photos). All that's left is a thinner, shorter seat to make to your taste. I'm a professional metalworker with a passion for motorbikes and I'm a bit sad not to be able to finish this project, which was close to my heart. I'd be really pleased to be able to advise a new enthusiast and see their project through to completion. I'm happy to answer your questions by e-mail and I can also send other photos. The penultimate photo of the bike is the bike as it was 100% original in 1960 and the last photo of the bike is a bit of an inspiration for the final result but with a seat that would be less wide and less long, hence the idea of making it to measure with a 4mm thick aluminium sheet for the base. To your keyboards and phones....
