No it's either too small or too far away.

Gorgeous bike. As for comfort/reliability/economical/practicality, probably not too good. But I fucking love the aesthetics of it, and my heart would probably overrule my head in regards to this bike. No speedo either?

eBay ad, £1250. 2 speed 2 stroke.

This one went at auction for £450, I wouldn't go too mad.

What are you intending to do with it? "Special time" in the shed, or actually ride it on the road?

I'd seriously consider that!

Clean, easy to work on...but I sense a name coming on.

The 50's equivalent of a modern Chinky 50cc. Built to as cheap a price as was absolutely possible. No brakes, no electrics, absolutely no charm or performance. Invest your money in a a good pair of shoes, buy this pile of sh1t and you will need them.
