I had a yellow one when I was a lad. It had one big back wheel, one small front wheel, the tyres had a red ring round them, it had three gears on the top bar with a lever to change them and a big long seat you could give your mates a "backy" with. What's to know ? :grin:

that is the mk2 version. the handlebars are fixed in postion whereas on the mk1 you could adjust them back, also on the mk1 the gear change was a knob not a t bar, i know this useless info as i had this version and next door had the mk1.
btw these were cool back in the 70s, now they just look stupid  :rolleyes:
