Keep me in mind when you want to part with it

Re:

Hello, all...I bought the lot from Paolo as a bulk buy.

I'm planning on offering these parts (and a load of other similar ones I already have) at cost to anyone here and on the Facebook Amp'oholics group to keep their stuff going.

The plan being that the press tool can be lent out, too.
I'll get measurements and specs for the tool and model it to be copied if needed.

The fork damper was already sold, so I don't have that.
The c-spanner looks like a well made special, but no markings and doesn't fit anything AMP that I know of.
I have no idea what the shock is...it looks AMP, but not much travel, too long eye to eye for a B5, and with a clevis on one end...

All the best,

Re:

Good to know and expect a queue!

Re:

The shock might be for a b4?

I've got a nos front shock damper if anyone needs one.

Re:

The shock is too short to be from a B5, only 155mm, not 172mm.
It's got an 18mm spacing kit on one end, for a 6mm bolt
The other end is a clevis, not a normal pivot, 12mm width, 8mm bolt.

All the best,

The tires are now butterscotch.....much better.

Always liked your polished B3. this looks to have a different front triangle?

 

[My_Teenage_Self]

The sliver one is an earlier model. Despite the similarities there was a lot of evolution in the Amp frames, with much more CNC in teh rear triangle in later years.

I'm happy to be wrong on this, but I thing Gerads silver one is a B2 with the black one being a B3 (?)

 

[B3]

They're both B3's the way to tell is that the seat stays clamp around the body of the shock on a B3 on the B2 they clamp around the shock end cap, it was an attempt to shorten the stays and stiffen up the rear end.
