Looks more like a landrover, no brakes and the rear drivetrains broke ;)

Reminds me of something thats made me bleed, a lot, when i was young, carefree and reckless or should i say wreckless. I don't even know if thats a real word but i think it could be a vinyl sticker idea.

I like it - but i have a thing for retro/vintage bicycles. I always wanted a puch racing bike as I had a puch moped, I also fancy a really old bsa/rudge type classic bike with stermy archer gears, pressed steel sealed chaincase and dynamo lights! For a while I fancied a penny farthing too but they are more money than I wanted to pay, finally I thought I'd mention a little trivia, I have a unicycle & I can ride it, but im not as competant now as i used to be!

Man I don't think I can justify £125 for a bike that will hary ever get used.

My first BMX was a Puch invader in bright green with mag wheels and all, I wish I still had it, they are so rare nowadays!
