Hi Heinz, hi Luca, hi everybody ...
I don't agree this reconstruction. As I tried to explain during this topic, the RoAr frame is definitely different from all the Minarelli 50 cc frames, including '79-'81, as shown by the pictures below. An inspiration is not a copy (or a replica). If you wonna make a real and careful copy is not a difficult issue nowadays, but the same at that time also ...
The lower, front and rear, engine seat is much inspired to the existing Minarelli 125cc frame, as shown again in the third image.
RoAr is a small brand not to be confused with Minarelli and your frame is a well done RoAr replica, not a Minarelli replica. I'm proud also to have one of them from the same replica's manufacturer, still awaiting to be build up ... It will be a RoAr Special, due to many minor technical and aesthetic changes, but a RoAr!

I don't wonna be polemic with anybody, but only recognize that RoAr smartly took advantage of many Minarelli experiences for their first original frame.
