Super, quality of past mechanics was much better than today, built to be threwn away after two years ...

My second car in 1972 was second hand Mercedes diesel, with 200,000 km  (like this one...)

I used for three more years with very minor maintenance cost and adjustments, and sold back at the same price !!! Not conceivable today anymore .....
My first refigerator bought in 1972 lasted for 30 years; the second in 2000 was to be repaired after 18 months only !!! Looks like technology regressed seriousely and most probably intentionally !!

But I could not see your first bottom bike, so enaged it a but, Bian !!


I like it !!

Well the little bike is still on the move, not as far in the winter months but I'm sure it'll be chasing the white lines soon.

2021 miles and still going!!!
