I've been looking for a new non-Honda project to keep me busy this summer. Either a tiddler bike or a top tank moped. Something I can customize depending on the condition. The cheaper the better!
This one below has been listed for awhile. I haven't called yet to see what he wants for it but I like the styling. Seat is trashed so I could do something interesting there. While it was sold through Montgomery Ward, it's base is an Italian Benelli from what I gather. My only concern is parts availability, at least what might be needed to rebuild the engine, carbs, etc. Anyone have any experience with these bikes?

And, if anyone around the Seattle/Washington/Oregon area has a lead on a small bike or moped, let me know. Moped Army has a local branch and a place called Magic Touch Moped is close by and I plan on stopping by soon to see if they have any leads.
I would snag this $850 Puch on eBay if it wasn't on the other side of the country.
