...but then this turned up instead
I am so excited not even the 600 mile round trip to collect it is putting me off

Re: I've been after a geared bike for ages...
It's a CH250, bigger brother to the CH125 and forerunner of the Helix. This one is most likely a US import as it's badged Elite, rather than Spacy as the UK models were. Black is not a colour they were sold in here either. That's about as much as I know thus far as I, erm, bought it on the strength of that tiddly little picture Here's a better one though...
It's a non-runner apparently, but they share a lot of parts with the Helix so hopefully it shouldn't be too expensive to get it back on the road. Famous last words

Whe I collected my V90 a couple of years or so ago I did a similar mileage to collect that. It ttok me 11hrs to get there and back. I vowed I would never do it again . Glad I did though .

Yeah, it's going to take me about 12 hours all in Best stock up on the Scotch eggs and energy drinks methinks I'll probably feel the same as you afterwards but It'll be worth it though.Bogger wrote:Whe I collected my V90 a couple of years or so ago I did a similar mileage to collect that.

244cc 4-stroke single, the engine's very similar to the one in the Helix.Bogger wrote:Is it 2 or 4 stroke?
