My Kettle

Post by niceonept »

I've owned my 750A for 40 years now. I paid £450 for it. Those Melber mag wheels fractured within a couple of months of that pic being taken in 1981.

This is it now, Never fully restored, just maintained and parts replaced when needed.

Indeed. It wouldn't even pay for a new seat!

Nice bike, some of those early mag wheels could be brittle. Melber were generally OK though.
