Dave Smitty brought his MAC up from Oregon, several years ago, with a clutch, and starting issue. He had recently bought it, and was custom built by a friend we both knew. Assembled from bits that were available, the little special is quite striking looking, with it's previous owners hand formed alloy parts, and unusual parts used in it's build. Upon closer inspection, found several areas that did not last the 'test of time' , and would need a bit of sorting to get it road worthy again.
As Dave was after a more standard bike for riding, that when it needed service work or parts in the future, Dave could follow Veloce's factory Parts & Service manuals, a retro rebuild was elected as the best option, and bring the bike back to standard, and set aside the special bits for later -
