last my friend and I went to a visit in Italy and on some exhibition saw this 1956 Moto-guzzi racer, build by the factory but never raced as in this year al of the Italian factory,s decided to withdraw from GP racing, luckily it was saved from scrapping by some enthousiasts and is now only sometimes on display.
we where attracted by its beautifull lines and after some discussion decided to construct a replica.
first we needed to search the Internet for foto,s and info, not easy for there is very little info on this bike, also we needed to decide what kind of engine to use as there are no spare-parts availble.
first we went looking for an older Falcone as this has (some) resemblance , but the horrific prices asked made us look further, so in the end we decided to use and modify a Nuovo falcone engine,our main goal was to get the look somewhat right, but realized it would never be exactly the same, nevertheless, we proceeded.
first task was to produce drawings and correct measurements, after this we started building the chassis,using chrome-molybdanium tube, over the coming period I will submit foto,s of this proces, accompanied with the neccesary comments
