Another Mirra 540 (budget booze run rider!)
« on: November 05, 2011, 06:40 PM »
Got this from TwoBobRob in the summer, most of the stuff was lurking under the bench from previous drunken buying sprees.

Decals were ebay for £4!!! that never happens for me!!

Just weighed it, 33 pounds, I thought it may be more.

Anyway, it is my `going to the offy' rider. It has a coaster, so I can carry more cans as I wont need fingers for braking :daumenhoch:







I love it, rides brill!!

The Ox bars were gratefully received from Mr Billstupps, and weigh at least a third of the weight of the bike!!

Can't get bar ends into the ends `cos the tube is about 3mm ID, and the chrome is so thick, were are going on holiday in it next year!!!!

Never had owt to do with Mid school, but am feeling the love now..

Not for the Pub Sid, the retro Quad is for that, this is purely off licence!!! ( and never the twain shall meet!!), I have a bike for fetching the paper, a milk bike, walking the dog and soon one for booking Ryanair flights!!!)

How else can I get away with all these bikes unless each one has a Job!!?

I wouldn't expect it to be a lot, as a guess, I'd only want to part with £100-150 for a complete.

but, on the other hand, this `budget build' has cost me more than that, but thats how it is. and buying a complete will always mean upgrades.

Perfect for Pissed-up riding. L

looking good munny, having 2 rear brakes should mean you can do extra long skids too  :daumenhoch:
