Having gone through all the parts of my Lodola 235 project the only part that is missing is the swingarm spindle. I have the two nuts, two washers and adjuster. Bit of a long shot but if anyone has a spare I can buy or knows where I can purchase one I would be glad to hear from you. Failing that if I could borrow one as a pattern to get one made that would be helpful. IMG_20260425_134117_373.jpg

George, I would try Guzzi Retro in Italy. They have had nearly all the parts I have wanted for my Airone and Galletto in stock and at good prices. The only issue is the carriage cost (and VAT/import duty if over 135 euros!).

The parts catalogues are on Retro's site and you'll need to send Marco an email. Good luck.

George, retro are very good but bear in mind that the whole of Italy shuts down very soon for holidays and you will not get a response. I cant remember the exact time of their holidays but I think the end of this month.  To avoid customs duty, I split orders into smaller ones, it costs more in postage but you can save money.  Alternatively go to Mandello for the festival in September and bring back your parts, you will enjoy it.

Thanks for both replys. I have used Guzzi Retro before some years ago years ago. I am going to wait untill September before inquiring. I have a Morini 175 restoration to finish first. On another note on selling my Superalce that I really don't want to as it is such a good bike, I have made adjustments to carb and bike now starts 1st or 2nd kick Having had some pracrice I now have the knack of putting it on the centre stand. Enjoyable 40 miles ride today.  Needless to say the bike is now not for sale.

Hi George, I have a Morini Tresette Sprint that I unfortunately was involved in an accident with. I’m going to send you an email off-list to ask about parts suppliers.
