Managed to get one very cheap.... few problems here and there, but got it running.... it seems quite quick for not really having an engine (possibly about 25mph), but I noticed that it has a bit of a wobble from about 20 upwards... is that something to do with bearings or just my lardy 12 stone arse on there?

One thing I do like about it... everything is pennies for them... all the parts I've needed have been about £5 each (pull start, clutch, air filter assembly, front mud guard)

Forks are basically lollipop sticks, so handling will be utter gash anyway. A wobble is expected Laughing
