Thom,
  Looks like a neat bike.  I actually sent this ebay listing to John since it was so close, but I think he is working long hours now.  Great buy.

WOW !  I saw that Penton on Ebay, and it looked real rough, like someone dragged it out of the Ocean.  You have done a great job of resurrecting it.   What have you done to it so far, other than cleaning it up?   You have a real eye for a gem in the rough.  Great price on your purchase, too.    joe

Started taking the motor apart but it will be a while before before it goes back together.Happy to see it was still on a 54.0mm bore,transmission seems fine,clutch is good,replacing the usual, wheel bearings etc...Going to put a 5a motor in it and try to get my nephew to ride with me in CC at Diamond Dons next year.I never remember to take before pictures,that might be a good thing!
