Malaguti Ronchino 50cc kids bike restoration project

[Guest]

Hi there - new to this forum and appreciate any help I can get!

I've just been given a 50cc kids Malaguti bike. Looking through the web, it appears to be a 1970's Ronchino (I'll post a photo as soon as I can).

I can't seem to find any information on parts (original or equivalent) for these old bikes anywhere on the web - any ideas?

This is my first ever bike and hope to restore it with my young son as a project - may teach us both a bit about bikes!!

Thanks

Steve

Malaguti were not very well known in uk like they were in France where I grew up (in the 70's)

so there is loads of information but on French and italien sites

try google search jais un Malaguti.....or....if you do not speak french use a text translator,you will be suprised how much there is on these bikes.

Also France is really good for spares on old italien bikes as they are considered "cool"

Can't wait to see the photos

Hi did you have any luck with spares? I just got the same bike to restore with MY son! Forks are knackered and bodywork beaten up.
