    A100 or alternates?

    I have an odd hankering to build a little 2 stroke café racer...

    Google Itom for the sort of thing...

    Or looking like the old 50cc GP bikes...

    An A100 with the long tank could be ideal but the 4 speed box is a bit pedestrian really and they go for silly money... I do want to actually ride this thing on the street so no old MX bikes... What else would be affordable and common enough so parts can be obtained...

    any ideas?
