I picked this Puch Invader frame and forks up on the site from Selfpreservation (thanx Ciaran m8
) a couple of days back.
Yes i know it's an old Puch. I know you could build another bike out of the welding on the joints. I know it weighs half a hundered weight
, But i think it's sweet...
For a bit now i've been thinking about starting a proper project build. A build that doesn't start with a £300+ frame and fork set.
Something i can have totally restored from bare metal up.
Also from start to finish put together using some of my spare bits i have kicking around, and that i can pick up cheap, that have seen far better days. That'll need to be totally restored to be in a condition to go onto any bike.
Not saying it's gonna be a cheap build. It's going to need stripping, then re-powdering. It's going to need a decal set made up.
All of the parts i put by for it are going to need stripping and polishing, or re-coating.
It's gonna take some time too. But at the end of the day (and maybe for good reason), i've seen hardly any of these over any of the sites.
It'll be nice to do something a little different.
1st thing i've got to work out... Which colour powder for the frame and fork set... Maybe a candy red or blue ?
It begins
