My Top 5 Secrets for Building Bikes
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
This summer was busy. If you are in the middle of building a bike or two, you'll find these tips quite useful...
1: Have a plan and write it down.
Keep a record of what parts you need. Add check boxes that note if the part is ordered, in stock and installed.
2: Work in tandem.
Many steps can be done side by side, two or more bikes at once. You'll have the tools out and calibrated, parts and hardware at your finger tips... save 25% of your build time by multitasking.
3: Get comfortable with alternative solutions.
If a part is out of stock, and there is another part available that does the same thing... What it would take to modify and supplement?
4: Get creative and make the part.
If something is missing and no alternatives exist, it's time to get crafty and make it yourself. There are hundreds of parts to a bike and if one is missing, you can't finish... Don't let this happen
5: Clean up between builds.
Don't be a bozo. Sweep up, put those tools away and give yourself some room. Clean shop for a clear mind.

I buy a 4 stroke chinese moped here in Costa Rica, they are awesome machines, but we need more brands here like Tomos, which i like a lot. I hope you can keep doing more videos.

Nice bikes, I really like those styles. My uncle had a puch back in the day. I like the scrambler styles too.

Fun fact: Johann Puch (Janez Puh) was also Slovene, like Tomos bikes. He was famous inventor: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johann_Puch

Tomos was the most famous moped in EX Yugoslavia. Can bet you sell many of refreshed mopeds to people who were born down there 😁

Nice to keep Tomos alive. Subconsciously, I think of the movie The Living Dead, only they look much much better.
Do you have more details/information of the seat on the green bike? It looks a lot different than the ones I see here in the Netherlands. My own Tomos is still in parts but hope to work on it next summer. The storage on the seat in your video looks very nice!

This is the style of seat that is standard for the American market. The seat height is much lower that the seats found in the Netherlands. Also seat is wider and longer. The flip up design is good for storage, but also used to hold an oil tank for oil injection. TOMOS part number 236620
