Title: MY Â£20 MK07 PURCHASE!!!!!
Post by: dwain dibbly on August 09, 2007, 01:11 PM: well after years of wanting i finally got my hands on a prolite :smitten: :smitten:
i love these bikes and had the really cheap tx10 as a kid, but always wanted the trackmaster or privateer.
i managed to pick a scabby f+f up at MK from silentpartner for Â£20 :shocked:
it was badged up as a Peugeot but after comparing it to olliecw's stunning privateer it was agreed they are the same f+f maybe just sticker when they arrived.
anyway i did consider a full resto but i have 2 other show bikes and want something i can
actually ride without worry so a couple of hours with some wd40 and wire wool and its come up a treat. its not show condition as there is still a little pitting and flaking but i think it looks awesome and its definitely going into battle at MK08 :daumenhoch:
i think the tuffs are going to be swapped for either spokes or blue tuffs not sure yet.
what do you reckon :daumenhoch: :daumenhoch:
