Puch Restoration finished
« on: June 23, 2015, 09:07 AM »
Hi

Just thought I would put up some pics of my newly restored Puch ProElite! Dels Decals did an outstanding job on the decals. Pad set is an added touch as I know Team Murray did use some Puch models.[

nice, but that seatpost looks like it's made out of strawberry licorice (& about as strong)
if you're going to ride it would seriously recommend swapping it for a cromo one/not running it quite so high) or you might end up snapping it & impaling yourself  :shocked:

or if you want to keep it red get a renthal..?

Other than that mate it looks nice.  ;)

Looks very nice.
Like others have said, Needs a chrome post.
A head tube badge shouldn't be too difficult to track down either :daumenhoch:

Thanks!!

Actually the Headstock badge is proving the most difficult bit. Got the old one but its battered. Any ideas?

If it still goes/stays on ok, I'd be tempted to use the og headtube badge! Otherwise put "wanted" ads up everywhere or ask Del if he could make a decal alternative. Nice-looking bike btw! :daumenhoch:
