New to Tresette

[Morini Jen]

Hmm... Yes, the tank looks more Yamaha TZ than Morini Tresette, and I don't think I've ever seen a white headlight this side of an Ivory Calthorpe. Still, not to worry, I'm sure there are several options available which won't break the budget.

Just a couple of questions..
Q.1. Does the red stripe on the tank match the red paint on the frame?
Q.2. Are the mudguards and side panels painted to a 'finished' standard? If so, what colour are they?

I've got a busy few days coming up but I will give it some serious thought and get back to you. We'll work something out. I want you to feel justifiably proud of the bike you will be riding in the Giro.

Hi Jen,

A1. The red stripe is exactly the same colour as the frame.
A2. The mudguards side panels and other parts are the same red and are to a ‘highly finished standard’.

I just can’t think why he would have had the tank, headlight and rear light/number plate mounting painted the way they are. Unfortunately he is no longer with us to answer that question. I can only think that he wanted it to be ‘different’ my budget wont stretch to re painting, so I’ll have to live with it On a brighter note, I’ve managed to locate and purchase a new Italian made speedometer £142 pus postage.
