Cool colour. Love the little bike but not so sure about the enclosed chain..

they've been building these bikes since 1979, and still sell them today, without any design changes whatsoever, so I am assuming the enclosed chain is no trouble, I've driven them before without any problems whatsoever

Chain guards dont look cool on a bike i will admit,but in some situations they can help prolong the life of a normal chain many times over,they certainly do keep all the grinding paste sand out from stretching it.
Not cool but very practical.

I'd be wary if using it on a farm...it'll soon get full up with mud and crud and ruin the chain in no time. I'd junk the bottom part of it.

there are literally thousand here in new zealand, all running the chain guard, and no one I know of has any problems with it, they are properly sealed with rubber gaskets etc mind you, so I'm not at all worried about it

I absolutely love the color might have to steal it.

I can give you the color code if you want, we could make it a scuk NZ color

if you're really interested, I could possibly even organize the paint for you, I know the guy that owns the paint shop, so can probably get you a good deal

That is a potent green. Although i have a feeling the inside may make you like you're driving on acid.

ahh...didn't realise the chain was sealed inside. Good idea then!
