1950 Royal Enfield Flea
« on: November 07, 2011, 10:34:32 AM »
Hi All,

This is my first post. I have always been a big classic bike fan and am looking for a first time restoration project but not looking to spend alot (Who is!!) I am looking to start off with an easy enough project (No Engine work)

I have found a 1950 Royal Enfield Flea, It is running well and not in too bad condition. It is on for £1000, Is this bike worth it? See attached photo. Also is it normal for that bike to have a battery? see image

I am looking to swap 2 nice Mercedes cars for a restoration bike but no bites.

Thanks in advance!!

looks great apart from that awful seat upholstery. Don't restore it!
And if you don't have to spend anything on it then the 1000 quid is ok!

Cheers
Andy

Thanks for the reply Esometisse,

Why do you say not to restore it?

You can buy a new saddle with springs for £28.00 on Ebay.
I don't think you will need the pillion seat or rear footpegs to be honest!
