What if anything is known of a moped called the Blanco? Worth the effort? Anyone? One for sale cheap in my area, need backround, never heard of this model. Thanks!

Gloria Intramotor Blanco, looks like it's got a minarelli v1, worth it for the killer engine if that's true..

Re: question for the collective
Noted, that is what this one looks like...not orange, said to be missing a piece of plastc for carb cable adjustment...lol! But runs! Thanks for the info, have heard great things re:v1, but never been much for non variated peds, (understanding them) nothing against them. It is only $100.00 may go for it ty! I have to many mopeds as it is but have a line on a 2 stall garage on the cheap near my work! cross your fingers for me! Any and all info greatly appreciated! Is the v1 a 1 spd engine?
Re: question for the collective
1 speed, clutch-started...
Get it, and sell me the motor, while you polish up that incredibly cool frame! I may have that "plastic piece." I'm not sure though. Mine came off a Bianchi Snark. still a tiny carb... I was thinking 12mm, but I can't recall for sure.

Thanks man, if I get it I will seek to rat it out, looks kind of thrashed in the pics, but they are cr pics...if 25 mph is top speed it prob does have a tiny carb. Sometimes stock things are cool though, but 25mph where I' am may get me run down in traffic. So it starts like an e-50 Puch then. I could prob handle that!
Re: question for the collective
Very light bike, cantilever forks, cheesy bicycle style handlebars, but has a neat headlight
Re: question for the collective
theres a blanco rusting at this motorcycle salvage yard by my house.
Re: question for the collective
Its like a ciao with a v1
Re: question for the collective
dont underestimate the v1 if you dont have experience with one. only one-speed engine i know of that RIIIIPS with the best of em.
Re: question for the collective
one of the first mopeds i ever saw was a blue blanco with snowflakes. i wish i had it, or knew where it was now. looked so fun.
