Donny and Doug,

Thanks for your replies....I was concerned about the "double X's" at the end of the ID number...Can you tell whether those are Marzocchi shocks on the rear?

The seller has another wheel for his "eBay Buyer" and will sell me everything I see in the photo, minus the motor and exhaust for $200 plus $50 to deliver it to me on his way to Iowa at the end of the month...

Will this be a good start to build a vintage moto-crosser?...

I am a brand new POG member and I'm interested in a 125cc "project bike". Something to race vintage mx or restore for show.

I found a seller on eBay who is "parting out" what he calls a 1970 or 71 125cc Penton-Sachs motorcycle built for the ISDT with frame number 111518XX; but, this "v.i.n." is not typical for Pentons. Also, the fenders are atypical and it has what appears to be Marzocchi shocks. The tank, motor, and exhaust have already been sold.

The "eBay'er" has agreed to sell me this rolling-frame, but I want to be certain that it is a Penton and not a Hercules or DKW or something else before I buy it.

Please view the link below and let me know if I should "rescue this machine".
