Hi guys,
It's gonna be a while before I can a) get my scooter repaired and b) physically operate a scooter. But I need to know if my frame is straight before going crazy with parts and things. It looks "OK" but could anyone help a brother out with distance between the steering column and the seat mount on the frame? Any other good things I should measure? Thanks

measured me bitza frame as its in the dining room ... its 400mm straight across from headstock to seat nose where the tape touches

take a straight edge n line it up with the seam on the back of the frame across the tank n up to the headstock .. it should obviously line up ...

On my bike, the green line is 14 3/8" to the bottom of the part that rotates with the headset.
