15 - Exclusive Interview with ossa factory rider Albert Juvanteny
At the end we had to stop the partnership amicably. We used the Gas Gas engines for the JP bikes.
JP frames were builded by Monfort in Esparraguera, the same factory that builded Bultaco frames, but at this time, i think, was called different because the factory cracked down and some workers continued with it. But the problem was the quality, all the equipement was obsolete, the welding, the system of bending iron.
