Post by: chuck peterson on November 02, 2016, 07:58:13 AM

Blink your eyes, and it changes into the last photo, how cool is that? I need one...it is a disk brake loop with all the trimmings for cheap, though free may be too much

Lots of potential there, and he "wants it gone".

Should be a '74...

Appears to be another of the "rare" disc Eldos with footpegs and Amals.

 I wounder if it was converted to discs brakes at one time, mine is a 74 with Amals and 4LS front brake.

Might have been a "parts bin special".  IIRC they were having labor disputes or parts supplier distribution problems.

"jas67's" recently acquired '74 disc Eldo also has pegs and Amals. I believe they came from the factory that way. The Amals were used for quite some time from mid-'73 to '74 production dates.

I believe the 4LS started in mid '73 (I had one), then 4LS OR disk for '74 (had one of the disk too), culminating in all disk for the  last  batch of Eldo's in '75.

My '72 is upgraded with Dellorto's.  It came with a bin of parts.  No Amals. :tongue: '75 came with only 1 disk unless added by the owner.

'72 would have come with Dellortos.

Probably why I only found Dellorto's.  That's good because I was only looking for "them".

That is a gigantic leap from tattered old loop to Tonti sport. But hell, winter's coming for someone.

At the risk of sounding like Alex Trevek:  what is Amals?

Levers?
