	Ok, here's another of my projects. 1982 Puch City, derivative of the Puch x40. She's 50cc of pure POWAR. How I bought it: So far ive only got round to swapping in a pair of cafe-racer style drop bars, stripping off some of the tat and 'adjusting' the rear seat logo LOL. Hopefully I'll get round to moving the front mudguard to the rear, hardtailing the rear, and stripping it back to baremetal & laquering it. Oh, and whiteband the tyres if I can be bothered.

	Nice, is it getting rear sets? there is probably tons of hop up parts for that engine out there, you could have a summer winner on your hand there

Its a good way to do it, and can lower it a tad too at the same time. Dunno how to lower the front yet...havent figured it out.

	Managed to get a bit done to the noped today. Been meaning to try lowering & hardtailing the rear so today I knocked up a couple of braces to replace the shocks & springs. Just used some random bits of metal I had in my traveller garden for the time being but it works for now until I find something better. Its equated to roughly 4" of drop: Got clearance? Obviously they're only prototypes (though I am going 'rat' with this bike so might just tidy them up & paint them LOL). Gonna have to remove the stand & install a kickstand as there's about 20mm clearance which is NOT good on 2 wheels. Had to fanny about a bit too trying to relocate cables and stuff that the chain fowled. Not bad for an hours mucking about methinks, feels really good with its new height

	That's really sweet. Hard to come by in America, or else I'd definitely be rolling on one.

	Love the drop bars and lowered stance, replace the mock up with something tubular or box section though for extra strength
