    Really enjoying your content...take me back to when i was a teenager in Victoria park-Bridgwater in the 90s. Great days.

      Awesome to hear thanks, all these bikes take me right back to when I was a teenager too, most of them were way out of my budget then though.

    Nice find and I love the super quick spruce up! I refuse to go on facebook so I guess I will not pick up any bargains like this!.

      Thanks, it was not the best job but still fun to do. Man your missing out on a few good deals on Facebook, I get why you'd avoid it though!

      Wow, that's a long way from where it ended up when I bought it. Guess the previous owner must have moved.

      This one is set to be broken for parts sadly.

    Seems like a pretty good deal for $25. I guess it makes sense to sell off its parts. It still seems kind of sad.

      I know what you mean, if it wasn't such hard work selling whole bikes I'd spend a bit of money in it and re-home it. The bike I've just picked up will definitely be staying in one piece and definitely staying in my collection, watch this space 😁

      Thanks dude, that's my wife's car. It is a true sheep in wolves clothing....1600cc petrol, absolutely no power through any part of the rev range ha ha. It does give great gas mileage though.

    I have the same bike. I don't understand why there is a gap between the diatech clamp and the plastic bearing cover. Mine also has it.

    • @TheRetroBiker
      @TheRetroBiker  11 месяцев назад

      I'm not sure which but you mean? Hopefully it's meant to be there if both our bikes have the gap though ha ha.
