Title: 1981 Puch Trak Pro
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on May 18, 2016, 05:19 PM

I picked this frame a little while ago with no actual intentions on how, or even if, I was going to build it. Anyways, after my youngest Daughter saw her elder sister's Thruster, she wanted it, so I set about collecting parts.

The frame is a Puch Trak Pro in limited Edition black. It has a plate riveted to the bottom of the BB for the serial and the owners name to be stamped on upon purchase. They were only released via Puch high street stores. I have no definitve idea on how many they released, but I am aware it was less than 200.

They would have come in black with gold parts, but I decided I wanted to do something a little different with the assistance of my Daughter  :daumenhoch:

Thanks Mick. She loves it, but is a little unsure of it at the moment. The steering is more twitchy than her 16" bike.

Nice little project ....this will forever be her bike.... :slayer: Well besides that period when sh'ell want to sell it for some cash, before regretting it 10 years later, but it's too late, so she signs up to some dodgy fb group, looking for a Puch frame and resto advice ......the end :teef:    You won't let it happen, right?! :D
