OMG I don't know whether to be impressed or laugh??? Decide for yourselves http://www.trademe.co.nz/Sports/Cycl...-192103338.htm . I think it would be like dating an ugly chick. Fun and entertaining but you wouldn't like to be seen by your mates, having fun with it.

I'd rock it!

Love the whitewalls. Wonder what Vmax would be? Probably go faster with the pedals anyway.

I dig it, Though it needs a 500cc engine wedged in there, and a huge seat.

Sorted.

Heh, it's not unlike the vélosolex:

500cc engine on that thing? I can just imagine it, twisting the throttle = buckling and twisting frame.

I dig it.

I'd look cool on it, butt naked, mirror shades and a white scarf blowing in the wind.

Much the same as an old Kawasaki 2 smoker.

If it had a methanol breathing 1000cc V twin, with no gears, no brakes and tyres that were cotton dipped in rubber it would be just like a turn of the century before last board track racer.

I like it, but I have a real soft spot for that style of pushbike, and in fact I own a couple of them. It needs to lose the fork (it needs a springer fork with four bars) and the 60 spoke wheels are a bit overkill.
