1972 PUCH CAVALIER pics updated

[tee-one]

Just picked this up thanks to my dad that saw it for sale on the noticeboard at a company..

Its absolutely mint , its been hardly used, and appart from the speedo and new selle seat its original.. (these will be changed)

i know its not everyones favorite thing but ive got a thing for the underdog so this suits me fine

got it home and was possibly the first person to ride it in 15 years and it rides like a new bike... its been hung up in a garage all those years too and the tyres are perfect...

just got a bit of polishing to do but ....

ill let ya see the pics

oh and if anyone knows the year or how to tell that would be appriciated

It was nothing particularly special in its day, but wow! - what a time warp machine!

Well worth saving and cleaning up just for the great condition it's in.

Nice one!

Didnt puch make mopeds too?

Yes they did, and in a way they continue to build mopeds under the Piaggio name.

That's a very nice bike, the condition makes it worth keeping!

everything on that bike,especially the rear carrier and the rear lamp,suggest mid-to-late 70's to me.
