My first attempt at restoring a CT70. I bought this bike off of ebay for $700 around 6 years ago, rode it around for a week then tore it down.. It's not completed yet, still sitting on the side of my house.. Times have changed in the mini market.. When I purchased the Zongchen engine it was the ONLY 125engine on ebay.. I bought it for $1000 and came from england.. There was no online places like dratv or tboltusa that had all the parts needed, no Planetminis, just a handfulll of euro based websites.. If the intake manifold didn't fit you had to cut it,weld it and make it fit yourself, or place an order with monkeybike UK.. Nothing was easy, ebay had very little too... I'm gonna get back to this bike someday... I'll ditch the Zonger and put the stock engine in and call it a day...
