Already thinking of a winter project & could not resist buying this bike locally for a mere £20......."what.......what" I hear you ask..............an Apollo ! ........Ok stop laughing............no really, C`mon, let me finish an Apollo Perpetual, I`d never heard of it, "Elevated frame technology" apparently, I just love the frame !

Do you use your boat through the winter or is it left at anchor?

Just kidding. Bikes a bike, enjoy.

Im just trying to work out if the DT is like that on purpose, or if it's had a serious front end shunt

I like the frame shape, if that were differently stickered and dripping XTR and some nice finishing gear and wheels it would look awesome.
Still weigh a bit and the welds would give the game away but.....

Nice one - have fun!

If it had a fancy paint job and it was called Voodoo Jazz Hat....

Hooligan is a great name for a bike with attitude & I'm surprised the name hasn`t been used more on bikes - Cannondale did a small wheeled bike with an odd frame too

It does have a funky charm about it...and for £20 you can't go far wrong!

As heavy, non nimble and all that as it may be....it's part of an era that came before alot of desirable objects.
That is the type of bike most of us had, or knew of it, xmas or birthday special, age 13.

Rocking that bike, maaan.
