Nick an inner tube out the Piranha and put it in the Patty, 10 mins work :daumenhoch:
I did the same a few years ago, Built a Torker like the one I had stolen as kid, Rode it no more than a mile, Took it apart and sold it. Was like riding a plate of jelly.

Sound advice there Dan from our very own master of no-nonsense talking :daumenhoch:
But I feel your pain my friend - you need to get a newschool that looks oldschool and then you can ride it anywhere and still look daft :2funny:
Enjoy Radchester mate and get ready to sell your entire collection to pay for a holiday or two like I did. Ash's trust fund idea is a cracker but we enjoted drinking my collection on a great beach or in the Rockies which the kids loved as much as we did. But keep the Piranha mate :coolsmiley:
Hope to see you in a few houra but my escape tunnel isn't finished yet :-[

Yeah the Piranha is defo a keeper, purely for nostalgia purposes.
The original one I got BITD was paid for by my old man in July '85, it was during the summer shut down at Vauxhall's in Ellesmere Port, there was none of this BACS payment straight to your bank autopay shite then, it was £20 & £10 notes hanging out of a brown envelope. My old man took me to the bike shop on a Saturday afternoon and pulled out the notes and paid for it.
I think I paid for half the bike myself using money off my milk round. Also, my parents used to smoke 60 Embassy tipped each a day, Embassy used to insert a gratis card inside the pack, so if you collected enough of them, you had like gratis points where you could cash them in or exchange then for gifts. My mum had collected these vouchers for about 5 years, and they were all in carrier bags under the stairs. My mum said that if I counted them all, I could use the value of them, exchange for cash and pay for the bike, which is what happened.
So, I've owned 2 of these now, and both tricky to get, it will be with me forever, just from the memories it brings.
