Dart wanted

Post by peterc »

After a while out of Morini ownership I'm looking for a Dart in excellent running order, or easily recommissioned if stored for a while. Please pm me if you are considering selling.

If you succeed in finding a Dart, don't forget to order a new fuel tank from Tom and Gary while
you can! See the topic in the Dart section for details.

Will do George, makes sense as soon I'm sure of finding a bike.
I've noted the ebay Dart, at the top of my budget and a dealer, (prefer to talk to the owner with bikes of this age), but if nothing else comes up...

Having had the opportunity now to test a Dart I've sadly concluded that the ergonomics would just not be practical for me. The very low shaped seat has been noted by others as being a problem and I found the seat along with the tight knee angle would limit me to very short rides. Its not a bike I would want to customise, (feel free to correct me if you've done it), to give a roomier position, so it looks like a Strada in 350 or 500 guise will be best for me. Shame as the Dart is such a nice bike, just not practical for me.
