This bike is one of my favourites on the whole site. You are one lucky bloke, I would give my shed for just one ride on that aged chunk of style.

Re: 1974 Puch Challenger MX
Love the bike... was lucky enough to find one myself in good enough condition that it just needed a good hard cleanup but alot of the original paint is still there but is flaking. might re-do the bars tho, they are down to 5% black paint. Either way, gorgeous old bike i agree.
