Ciao !
Since few days I'm the new owner of a nice Sinclair C5.

It's Dec '84, a two batteries model !
With a lot of accessories:
- horn
- mirrors
- indicators
- high-vis mast
- mud flaps

But I need a new cap for a rear wheel.

It's a great addition to our retrocomputing club

isn't it ?

Hello and welcome to the forum!

That's a well documented journey to collect your C5, and the C5 itself is very neat and with all the accessories too you got a bargain

I like your collection of retro computers too, if you're ever back in the south of England I've got a couple of commodore PET's and old Sinclair computers hanging around in need of a home.

Enjoy yourself on the streets of Italy in the C5!

Could you just loosen the handlebar by undoing the bolt a little and tapping it so the wedge drops out underneath and, whilst holding the front wheel just gently straighten it out?

Yes !
Paul suggest me the same procedure, trough a video.
I'll do that tonight, and I'll report the result to you.

Many thanks for your help.
