Post by: Caddy555 on May 14, 2008, 01:08 PM

Hi Guys, one of my sons mates has just built this up, its from 1982 and we are wanting to know what it is.

It was a shed when he got it, but hes painted it up nice and added the new old school flavour parts.

Here goes:

god i never thought i would see one of those again - worse bike i ever owned and my dad owned a shop that was a ML dealer!! even buying it at trade was a bad idea..  teh geometry was a shocker

I had a lavender one with matching ML 'Z' Rims - thankfully no pictures survived!

Meteor lite just ripped off every good design ever - they couldnt even get the ami tri grips right - used to rip your hands to pieces....

sorry if i offend anyone - part of my child hood i would rather forget...
