linto 500
Hello there,
I'm willing to build my own Linto-aermacchi frame. Can you help me
with some specifications, good pictures or even a technical drawning? It
shall be rare, i know.But if you can help, thanks a lot!

I am number 45 on a 500cc Linto at the French G.P. in 1969. This was
my first G.P. I can send you some facts about Linto motorcycles and
the then young men who raced them if you like. Let me know.
I would be pleased to help. -- Regards.....Steve --

Little-known fact: Lino Tonti designed a race bike called the "Linto"
just before he was hired at Moto Guzzi. The engine in the Linto was essentially
two Aermacchi top ends grafted onto a single crankcase (an approach later
used by Fabio Taglioni, who grafted two Ducati top ends onto a common crankcase
to create the Ducati L-twin). If it's good enough for Tonti, it's good
enough for me.
