Looks like a Puch or Viceroy??
Deffo not a goose :(
-
I think these are generic frames. I had one two years back when bankrupt bikes on ebay were selling them ;) Nice frame, but dont think youll find a make for it :-\
Make a sweet rider :)
-
looks a lot like a puch i had a while back.
-
the sellar said in the listing that it was 30 years old and was not perfect condition? but can not find any kind of info on the serial number BUT he did say it may be k1080053?
I will just have to wait and see what it is when it turns up in the post, cheers for the intrest and help anyways dudes. :)
when it turns up i'll give it a buff and get some better pics of it up on here.

-
hmmm i wonder?...cant wait for it to turn up now to find out. it looks like a goose in some ways but has no gueest behind the seat tube wich led me to a ammaco goose but didnt they have a rear gusset? or maybe a ammaco team?? cant find anything matching the gusset wiith the match box section behind the bb. puzzled chaps lol
-
Puch? ???
http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/puch/2201
-
that puch looks spot on apart from the top tube is lower set to the head tube on the pic of mine or it maybe my morning eyes lol
-
had to log on with pc instead of phone, had a good look at that puch again and it looks spot on apart from on the rear drop outs there seems to be more cut out on the front than on mine??? if ya know where im on about, (where the frame meets not the wheel)
-
I think its the same as your viceroy bendycat? all confused :-\.......why cant people research thereframes before they sell them lol
-
i think you could be the winner bendycat lol after looking at this close up(http://)http://bmxmuseum.com/bikes/viceroy/54256
-
yep looks spot on! Viceroy :daumenhoch:
-
Are they any good then cos i cant remember them? is it worth doing a build with if i can find all the parts?
-
i think they were low end to be fair....but always worth bringing back to life :daumenhoch:
-
cool thanks for all the help anyways guys :daumenhoch: think im going to see the condition of the chrome first and maybe bring it back to life
-

-
You've deffo put the right parts on that Bendy. :LolLolLolLol:
it's your London ride Lee ;D
Put what parts you want on it - it came with cheap end parts - pick a colour and go work with that, as it can be done in so many different ways :daumenhoch:
-
cool cheers for that :daumenhoch: the chrome is pretty shot in places so may have to give it a new coat and let the imagination run free and let you guys see it when its done
-
paint or powder !

-
thats good work there bendy and shiney chrome just how i like it :). think ill give it a good clean and see what its like but at first glance it may have to be painted, not to keen on powder cos i like to see a good spray job
-
I still think its a Puch although the Viceroy is apparently the same frame :daumenhoch:
I had one the same,it looks like your headtube has 2 holes in it,these would have been for the riveted Puch badge :daumenhoch:

there is 2 holes bigfatolly but it looks like a bigger rectangle badge more than the round puch, thats if the viceroy was that shape?
