Holy 100cc cylinder!

[Dale Fisher]

Looks like the 100cc cylinder listed on Ebay is going the way of the 152 kit.  It also has been re-listed at a "buy it now price" of $699.

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay. Just cuz he thinks he'll get $699, doesn't mean he ever will.....

About 10 years ago I sold a couple of COMPLETE NOS Sachs motors for $500 a piece and thought I killed the fatted hog.  I had 5 of them and took 3 apart because the NOS crank assemblies and shifting mechanisms & keys were pretty easy sellers.  NOS shift keys then brought $50-$125.  I had probably 20 of these 100 topend kits with piston, rings, bearing, gaskets, and everything and sold them for $100-$150 a set.  Oh yes, bread was a nickle then I think.  LOL!:D

As far as the getting $699 goes I bet if he does not blink and can afford to sit he will eventually get it, maybe sooner than later.  Like I said a lot 10 years ago, "They're not making anymore of them."  Still true.

Hello,  There is an issue regarding the availability of parts for vintage Pentons.   Currently, several reproduction parts are produced.  Those which I am aware of include: metal and plastic fenders, air cleaners, handle bars, shocks, Sachs shifter keys, seat covers, foam, and bases, fork boots and wipers, rods, kick-starters, side covers, et.al.  I do not know where to locate Sachs 100cc cylinder liners, or all the correct pistons and rings.  I think the last available over-size piston offered for the Sachs 100cc was 49.5mm.  (Is this 0.060" O.S.?)   The point is that I am considering contacting WISECO which is conveniently located down the road in Cleveland, Ohio.  They do have the capability to produce custom pistons.  I heard that if produced in lots of 10+, it becomes cost effective for the buyer.  I would suggest a Sachs piston of 50.0mm.  The price of the custom pistons will hopefully eliminate the need of replacing or locating a cylinder liner.  Any thoughts or other ideas.  Thank you,  Joe

I'll take the used knobbies, worn countershaft sprocket and rear fender mount/electrical conduit bracket too, if I can get a copy of the pic thrown in.[]

Anyone know what the final price was, just curious.

[Dale Fisher]

It's offered at a "buy it now" price of $699.  I don't believe he will have any takers at the moment.

I think it was $227.50 and didn't meet reserve....obviously.

Man I knew when that show "pickers" came out it twernt gonna be good for us.But I guess it could matter if your buying or selling.But for me its always been if I'm selling it's not worth squat, if I'm buying it's priceless.

I seem to always buy high and sell low....but it is worth the fun of riding....I could be tossing a $500 driver into the pond on the 17th hole at Diamond valley Coarse in Hemet. CA.
