The real red ones are extremely rare! Only 25 red bikes were made! (I think)

William,

what condition are the red plastics in (ie are they scratched/cracked, have the side panels got all their nobbles)?

If they're in good nick, and before you spray them, give me a shout.

I've got some nice condition green plastics in the shed - maybe we could talk about a swap?

As Truslack says, the red bikes are rare (did I mention that I have one... :roll: ) and spare plastics would be useful to me.

Cheers

the nobbles are fine, they are red plastic but are also painted red ontop of this, and are quite rough looking and i am near doncaster :)

were there any differences between the red and green bikes, power or speed wise or was it simply
the colour of the panels
