We are brothers,Ani(erder brother) and
Ototo(younger brother).
And we are only one brothers loves Velo-solex in my city(may be).Ani
has reproduced(Hangarian) s3800, ototo has Japanese 5000 was
re-conditioned by himself.
Ototo worked hard in '03 summer. First, his solex is not solex just
some stleel lasty plates and bar and screws in a carton.
He had to start re-conditioning without image of complete 5000. He
fighited with last, polish and polish, day by day.
It is not easy to get repair parts for solex. Because no shop deal
solex parts in Japan.
He solved this ploblem with importing from USA BUT he can not speak
English, then he spent 2hours to one enquiry E-mail :p
I(Ani) get a new s3800 in summer 2000, at shop in Shibuya( one of city
in Tokyo).
In fact, it is not easy to ride solex in Japanese traffic. so we can
only run small street in local area.
In Tokyo county area, we can find them. I hope you enjoy our photos
Japanese local seanaly and our daily life.
Thank you
