Little restoration of my new buy: Yamaha BYZ 401! (From Italy!)

(1/5) > >>

Kaba:
Hi guys! I have found this awesome bike in a vintage store near my city... I buy it sunday for 20 € in good but old condition!

I am only 15 years old but i have a big passion for bike like old bmx, old crossbikes and old race bikes!

Now a look of the new found: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/819/29112011178.jpg



So we have: broken seat, a broken grip, ugly and broken pedals and not original crank.

i started the restoration by removing the few parts: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/824/29112011189.jpg



(The crank is to expensive for me so i decided to keep it because haven't problems)

and now a little photo with other pieces waiting for the new other: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/710/38055422508950776261405.jpg



Only waiting for pieces!:



nice race bike seat and new perfect grips!



Sorry for my bad english but i have only 15 years!

Few domands:

The Yamaha BYZ 401 was imported into italy?

How much of this type of bike were produced?

Someone who could help me find the original pieces?

Thank a lot to all! bye! :D
