2003 Tomos sprint for $250. Runs. only problem is: "Doesn't idle well."

Mike Pee · « **Reply #1 on:** March 24, 2009, 11:01:24 PM »

Sprints aren't horrible looking. Probably the most palatable Tomos. And I know you can fix an idle problem. Plus, you can bring it back here to civilization and sell it for the same or more.

Look like this?

Alex · « **Reply #2 on:** March 24, 2009, 11:12:25 PM »

yeh.

shhhhhhh, don't tell anybody where you found it. Yeah, it just means that guy doesn't know what to do with his carb. If I got a tomos, I'd have to make it go fast.

I'd rather make something cool go fast.

Mike Pee · « **Reply #3 on:** March 24, 2009, 11:14:28 PM »

Look at those decals. It's already fast.

Alex · « **Reply #4 on:** March 24, 2009, 11:26:58 PM »

I hope you're referring to the speed at which they should be removed upon acquisition. Tomos really wins the prize for designing ugly decals.

Tomos makes some ugly mopeds, by I'd love to play with one in secret and ride it when IRE I'd out of town.

Alex you're in Moped No Mans Land. Get it.

looks like tennis shoes, or the box they come in...

well said, also ,see if k-mart also has any accessories. pull behind wagon, matching jump suit and socks, fingernail polish, etc......just kidding.....take the stickers off

rkboco · « **Reply #9 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:12:46 AM »

Will I get flamed for saying "I like that ped". It looks to have potential. Unless it is one of the tomos without pedals.

Hey now, my buddy out in LA has one of these. He wieghs about 80-90 lbs and used to have it kitted. He had to put it back to stock, but let me ride it. Thats how I got stuck on the 2 speed A35 motors. A little work, after stock and even a non kitted one is fast as shit.

ire mark · « **Reply #11 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:29:56 AM »

LOOK !! Kevin likes 'em ,,I guess that's the same as being flamed

rkboco · « **Reply #12 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:43:47 AM »

shit! your right mark. Thanks for ruining it for me. Mark is it cool if I call you today. Have some questions for you. Still have your # in my phone.

TheOrangeRobin(s) · « **Reply #13 on:** March 25, 2009, 08:45:06 AM »

I dont dig the gaudy stickers but the bikes are pretty quick out of the box. About as close to varaiated as non variated can get. 2 speeds are a lot cooler when they arent za50's.

Garett · « **Reply #14 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:07:05 AM »

It has potential for sure, cosmetically that is. Seems like at that price it is a really good deal.

Garett · « **Reply #15 on:** March 25, 2009, 09:07:22 AM »

How much is the G3?

Alex · « **Reply #16 on:** March 25, 2009, 12:55:45 PM »

I'd find them again for you if I knew where I was in the craigslist world. They were around $500.

shaner bock · « **Reply #17 on:** March 25, 2009, 12:59:24 PM »

hartland, wi? yeah he has a grande for sale too. i thought they were $650 each?

I emailed tomos man. I also found a golden bullet, a lot further away. What's the deal with the golden bullets? are they as easy to upgrade? It looks sooo much better than this sprint. It's also pretty clean.

I don't really know how close to Madison you are but it looks like there is a nice looking maxi there.

Lindar · « **Reply #21 on:** March 26, 2009, 07:44:36 PM »

A Golden Bullet ... with an A3? If you want to modify for speed, I would avoid the A3. (I might be biased be though. My Tomos is cursed.)

Mike Pee · « **Reply #22 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:08:02 AM »

Okay, I'll admit I'm drunk now, and that I was drunk then, and that Topher was drunk then, but...

In Louisville, Topher was talking about how the A3 is an under-appreciated bottom end, and when paired with a newer a35 top end it is unstoppable.

Remember, booze + me knowing nothing about Tomos = me not guaranteeing my statements.

Garett · « **Reply #23 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:09:43 AM »

You would know a thing or two about under-appreciated bottoms...

...you hardly even look at mine anymore...

...am I that hideous to you!!!

shaner bock · « **Reply #24 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:10:44 AM »

confidence and conviction FTW! hahaha

i like the early 80s tomoses-i

shaner bock · « **Reply #25 on:** March 27, 2009, 01:11:04 AM »

oh my glory, what's i miss?

Alex · « **Reply #26 on:** March 27, 2009, 02:54:54 AM »

the guy emailed me back, all excited that I'm interested. I dunno, I've left my hobbit at home wounded. I'd hate to go running around with some new fangled ugly hussy.

Plus, there's no variator. Maybe I only want variated peds. That's a lie. But if you guys see any derbis or peugoet 103's around, lemme know.

Lindar · « **Reply #27 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:01:13 AM »

Actually Graham from the forums said pretty much the same thing about the A3 being underappreciated. And some guy on the PT forum just kitted his and seems tickled pink with the results. Like I said, I think I'm biased against them.

Mike Pee · « **Reply #28 on:** March 27, 2009, 09:04:32 AM »

I remember Topher saying something about the helical gears on the A3 rocking his socks. I duno.
