After an epic fail in Chapter 1, it was time to tear down the kickstart motor and go for a kit.

Puch Tomos Motocross Build Story: Chapter 1

Chapter 1:

The Ups and Downs 

  
I built a motocross bike with a Tomos Sprint frame as the base coupled with various Puch parts.  The inspiration came one day when I stumbled upon a European maxicross build by #therealribens and his crew #ejowpuchacademy, and #banana.  They used a Puch Maxi frame as their base and converted into a motocross bike that they took off road and raced around a dirt track.  Their bikes looked super cool and looked super fun to ride.

I initially set out to build this bike for my sons and niece to tear around on her uncle's farm.  It supposed to be a cheap build using all the left over parts I had.  But as you will see, it turned out to be anything but cheap.  #mopedluau build to the scope creep degree. 

The build story begin with a rusty barn find at my cousins house:

Barnyard Tomos Sprint rusting in the rain at my cousins house for over 10 years.
