Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
What pipe and dimensions my friend. I am building a trike and have the polini built shit. Gonna run a sha 15.15 and I know you are a hater but I realy just want low power. I will send you this pipe tradseys for that pipe if it works. This is a killer pipe I made.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Copy of a puch warrior pipe I think? Hits pretty hard from mid to high. I just need a good pipe that will hit until 30 mph and e good lol.

Just get the V1 circuit pipe from treats for $100, plug the end, poke a hole in it about an inch from the end cone, add 7" of 1/2" pipe, and you're set.
Btw, without a silencer it registers 76dbm at full revs. Legal noise limit is 83 in California.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
My rusty, dried out front brake shoes disintegrated today, leaving me with that "oh shit!!!" Feeling and a full Fred Flintstone stop from 50mph.
So I broke out this beautiful NOS vintage drum brake I was saving for a special occasion.
130mm of pure Italian braking pleasure in a 6.5" hub.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Very cool. I used a yamaha yg1k wheel I had ordered by mistake. The yg1 had 17" and the yg1k was the enduro version so it came with 16". Has awsome brakes and sealed bearings.

Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Now that's some cool brakes.

Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
V1 polini is the shit. This is making me want to do more work on my safari. It runs well, but an exhaust a bit more than a people's pipe is intriguing
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Stretched it a coupla inches in the back. Used some steel stock, cut it to fit in the drop out slot, and welded the crap out of it.
Makes it a bit more stable and not as scrunched lookin'.
Also got some EBR fork legs, put the promo pipe on because it has a silencer, and put a 12t up front. Hitting mid 50's now.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Looks good stretched out, at first I was wondering where you lengthened it until I read the description and the second pic.

I nominate baird co for 2020 builder of the year.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Laced up some 17" alloys with some big fat spokes.
And made some baby cranks.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
mid 50's is wild. you should do the next bakers dozen on it and see how it holds up!

I'd love to do a ride like that. But I'm in California, and it's a long drive, then a long ride.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
Love the baby cranks. I always just cut one off and weld it to the other side so they are both in the down position. Van still kick it over not do lose some cornering but I'm not into that so works fine for me.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
I use a cut off wheel on an air grinder and carve a cotter pin groove on the opposite side of one end on the shaft. Much easier than cutting and welding a crank, and you can switch it back if you want.
Then with baby cranks, I have enough ground clearance so they're like pegs, high enough so they don't hit in corners.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
This bike is still going strong. Haven't been riding it much with all my other bike projects, but took a liquor store run in it to give it some love.
1.5 mile trip ended up being 10 miles, full throttle all the way, in and out of traffic, passing busses...
Then i stopped at a light and it stopped, too.
Panic. Thought I soft seized it or something. Ripping full throttle for ten miles on the hottest day of the year. But it still had a lot of compression, just wouldn't start. Hooked up the spare external condenser and still nothing.
Walk of shame home for about 5 blocks, put in a new plug and it fired right up.
Guess it just needed some attention, got jealous of my other bikes...
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL

Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
On this fone I'm using "cool niks" speedo app.
The digihud one works good, though.
Re: Cimatti Gran Prix XL
