Hi everyone,
You're going to call me crazy... But back in the early 90's when Irvine and his clan came out with the Gavin scooter I was fascinated by it and always wanted one. But at the time I was just starting my married life, new father and all the expenses that come with it, and so I could not afford to buy one... So when I came across this one recently with some interesting WKPP stories attached and even someones name (METIS) on it from that group... I decided to buy it. I paid $1000 and it runs fine. Except for the crack now.. I had it shipped from Florida and during the shipping the tube got cracked right from one of the latch screws.
So now the problem is that I live in Connecticut and I'm having a hard time locating a used or new tube to replace the broken one. Anyone have an extra one?
I'm also trying to see if I can find someone or a company that supplies big PVC pipes because George and his partners had to buy it somewhere??? It is white so it must be PVC...
Anyway, I'm very sad... I was really looking forward to taking it for a ride...
Any help or ideas are welcomed!!
