I am thinking more late 60's...I saw a similar one on ebay recently, they have the carby built into the case if I recall correctly...
I would love to do one up, they look cool to me...

I think this looks more promising
very strange frame
Thanks guys

[Hewie]

Actually .. Im more inclined to go with the SS50

[Hewie]

The SS50 was the FS1's predecessor.

[Bradlze]

especially around the gearbox

[Rastas]

Late '70s?

Or early?

[goof]

I had an FS1E (my first bike) and it wasn't like that. For one I remember the foot pegs could be moved so that you could pedal the bike if the engine died or you ran out of petrol, etc.


Edit: Like this large picture.
