1960 NSU Quickly TT(K) March 19, 2006: During a visit to a person that has loads of NSU stuff, I noticed this bike - it is a TT-K, but has a normal 3-speed engine mounted. As the engines are rare, this is something that happens a lot. But the frame number will tell you it's a TT-K, or not. Thinking that the engine would come later, I decided to add this one to the growing collection. Initially just in storage, but I did do an inventory: To mount the standard engine, they sawed off the mounting point for the drivers footpegs But this did mean I have the correct chaincover (there is a difference between TT and TT-K in this) The engine cover is one for a TT, so I am looking for someone to trade an original TT-K. The headlight cover is damaged beyond repair The rear shocks were mounted, but the bushings were completely worn When they added the mopeds to the registered vehicles in the Netherlands in 2006 I got a license on this unit, as for the intake they did not have to be running, just mostly complete. So once this unit has been re-setup (it's too good for a full restoration), I can immediately put it for a long test run. As always, both good (club) contacts are invaluable when looking for parts. One of the members of the NSU Club Nederland had a complete rear fork for me, with the footpeg mounts. And after some time on eBay I now own 2(!) TT-K engines, one revised, and one original for a spare unit. The revising set for the rear shocks and the (sadly very expensive) new headlight cowling came from the regular Quickly-spares dealers, and for 99.5% we should have all complete to start the update.
