I have just bought a new properly marked Silentium silencer for my on going project from this supplier for €161 including shipping. Brezzi Samuele www.brezzisamuele.com check the website out they have lots of stuff a good prices.

Front and rear full width brake drums front brake plate Tresette second series. Used but in pretty fair condition Silentium silencer and front pipe for Tressette (not in scabby condition). Tourismo tool box (early type) Tresette front and rear engine plates in good condition, pair of rear shocks (ne...

The engine is now fitted back into the frame after having some spacers re made by a friend that were missing. I have also spent some time removing the seat cover which is in remarkably usable condition to (a) undo an Italian made to fit another bike bodge on the saddle frame and (b) wire brushing th...

[quote="Morini Jen" post_id=47695 time=1752001683 user_id= While I am here I've got a small confession.. Yes, I have a pet niggly-naggly-noo... I imagine at some point you will be putting the 'spread eagle' logos on the fuel tank. To my eye they only look right if the eagle's head is point...

So, after removing the front tyre and putting the wheel on the truing jig as I wasn’t 100% happy with the first attempt (turns out I was overthinking it put the tyre back on and succeeded in pinching three new tubes and gave up in disgust yesterday. Quick visit to my local friendly tyre dealer who r...

If it’s a Camel wheel Steve make sure it doesn’t get the hump.

The finished product

Hi Neil. Well if Norman is able to rebuild your shocks that would be great, especially as the top covers are painted to match. I'm pleased to hear that you have found wheel building relaxing and therapeutic. Some people baulk at the very idea of it. Each to their own... Apparently, some people enjo...

If you are willing to stretch to a new pair, I would recommend Norman Blakemore at NJB Shocks. https://njbshocks.co.uk/products/ Hi Jen, I contacted Norman yesterday and he has told me to send the shocks I have to him to re build them if he can as I asked if it was possible to use the top covers th...

I am almost at the point of getting a rolling chassis, but first I have to delve into the dark art of wheel building once my hubs come back from being polished. I’m still stumped by having a pair of rear shock absorbers in stripped down condition. The top covers are present and have been painted the...

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? Hi Jen, A1. The red stripe is exactly the same colour as the frame. A2. The mudguards side panels...

Erm, I'm a bit baffled as to what the previous owner was trying to achieve with the paint job on the Tresette. HI Jen, this is how he had the tank sprayed, honestly what would you do? As I said the headlight and the rear number plate/light bracket is spayed the same white. IMG_20250224_151650629.jp...
