Stronger subframe for my Bravo.

[12VTopic starterBerichten: 27]

Hi, i’ve bought a 86 Bravo (normal pedal model) with a broken subframe.

I found a reinforced model at treatland, that says it fits the Bravo (if you remove the centerstand stoppers):

I think this is the same model that JMPB sells, but they only call it a Citta subframe.

Can i use it on a Bravo? Are the main dimensions/lengths the same? I would like to mount the sidepanels, is this possible?

I know it doesn’t have holes for the pedal bushings, i would either drop the pedals og make a holder for some bushings.

Thanks 🙂

regards, Carsten

citta en bravo subframe are the same (only the centre stand stoppers are different)

The jmpb subframe doesn’t fit properly for vario.

I will run it with a vario setup in the future, so that is not good news. Is the material too thick, space issues between the frame and pulleys? It’s already very close on a stock thin sheetmetal frame.

That correct, the material is just to thick…
So when you buy a subframe like those you have to adjust it.

I found a used original one in good condition, so i’m good for now 🙂
