I am not a big fan of French bikes but some folks seem to like them. Depending on where you live, in nice shape, I would say 500-600 but I doubt 1000. Here is where you want to ask questions and find parts.

Despite how Rich finds his...whatever, I find most mopeds on Craigslist. A non running moped will usually go for 100-150 but I have paid 50-80 before. The green one I paid $50 as a package deal(150 for all 3). You can usually get them rebuilt totally in about a month depending on how much detail work you want to do and what is wrong with the bike. Here is the green ones sister, still not done with a few things left to do.

Yes I have been busy lately with mopeds. I thought I would post some of my most recent projects. The first is a 2005 Tomos. I traded another running bike to a 14 yr. old kid who took it apart and could not put it back together. I still have it and my son loves riding this the most.

The next is a 1977 Puch Newport. I bought three bikes as a package deal and this was the first I restored. I will NEVER buy three bikes again because it has been hectic, but it kept me busy. The first picture is how it I got it. I sold this already even though my 11 yr. old daughter loved riding it.

Next is a 1978 Puch Maxi Sport MKII with a 2 speed ZA 50 motor. The motor was siezed and needed a total rebuild which I just finished. I also had to toally rebuild the bike, every nut and bolt as it was a train wreck when I got it. I just finished it tonight and got it running right so I snapped some pics. Again, the first is how I got it.

I do have the final one I am waiting on some parts for so I will post them when it is complete.

Is that a correct picture? What would the price be if I picked it up in Pittsburgh? Interested.
