Hello Georges, welcome!

MARTIN are beautiful frames, I know I had one for the 750F2. Please do not look at the color, was not my choice.

i wouldnt mind having one of those frames to build a nice, light, unique street 750. bet theyre nowhere near affordable for someone like me though  ;)

Georges MARTIN built new any beam frame, in France it's possible to find a frame for 750 Four used. I think it nore more difficult to send it, the weigth is very ligth near 10 Kilogrammes with the arm.

But this one must be repair.

Good luck to find one of this frame.

Merci Georges,
Le cadre ici est plus vieux que les autres avec un amortisseur?  C'est possible de trouver un autre comme ca? J'habite de temps en temps au sud ouest de France pres de Pau. J'ai cherche des pieces de moto a auboncoin. com. Il y a  des autres sites sur l'internet pour chercher les pieces en France? Pardon, je n'ai pas des cles sur mon ordinateur pour ecrire des accents francais.
Merci encore!
Ben

Screw the color, that's a great looking frame! Do you think the swing arm is braced enough though?
Thanks!

Hello Georges,

Thank you for the link, I will write to the Pilleboue site and see if they can provide any help.

It looks as if there were two Martin frame styles made for the sohc 750. One uses a dual rear shock and what looks like a single backbone top tube while the mono shock type frame appears to use a wishbone type top tube. I'd prefer the dual shock frame as it looks as if you can use a larger capacity fuel tank. Sorry if my english is even more confusing than my french,
Ben

Sam. ;)

But if the original owner needed to show he was a man, why did he paint the frame pink? That's too deep for me Sam!
All best from Murphy and me,
