Evening all,
I feel i have been neglecting you all but this is due to too much work and very little time off recently (since February). Normal service will be resumed in January!
Anyways, i thought i was off for a week now but this changed so i had to do a quick rush job for a mate who gave me his Puch Sprint to clean up for his daughter. My mate was given it by a guy who was on the way to the skip with it! I have examined it and i suspect it was never ridden - the brake blocks are unmarked and the scores on it are consistent with storage - and i wonder if they happened the day it was in the trailer heading for the skips - grrrrrrrrrrrrrr if that is the case.
Having looked at it, I had a brain fart - i think that i may have had the boys version of this bike!! I do love co-incidences but i cannot confirm this as i need a pic of me on it and there are very few pics of me when i was 8.
THE QUESTION - how do you pronounce PUCH???????/
I pronounce it like 'push' - and have done since 1977.
Also, if anyone has any info on the bike, it would be appreciated.
The bit you all love - PICS - and they are up to my usual low standard -

Bit like an easy Spot-the-difference.
Hope you all have a great weekend,
Richard
