Well to start off, Im a 16 year old kid living in Virginia, USA. Bought a Vento zip back in 2004 then moded that kinda, then got a triton and went all out (or at least as much as my wallet would let me) after saving for what seemed like forever.
So here's the setup:
AC Polini Evo
Polini Evo Crank
SKF Bearings/Seals
Yasuni C20
28mm OKO
Kiesler Wig
Malossi manifold
Polini Reedcage
Polini Evolution variator
Polini 2G clutch
Polini Evo Clutch Bell
Polini Evo 128mm OverRange
Polini 14/41 Secondaries
OKO Nitrogen 330mm Shock
Some pics from along the way...
The day I brought it home. Rough looking but for $500 its all good.
