Gerald Gardebled - Beijing

Gerald Gardebled offers rare CJ items at good prices with discounts on quantities of 10 or more. Shipping prices are reasonable. E-mail: gardebledg@hotmail.com
We will build any color bike a customer requests. We offer chrome in two grades: Chinese chrome at a good price but not high quality or parts chromed in the USA with good quality. On request we can polish some of the aluminum parts but not the cranckcase, gearbox case or rear end case because it is bad for the cooling.
We now has sidecar buckets made of thicker metal like they used to be made. These are custom made with the original tooling at the Gan Jiang Machinery Factory in Nanchang.
