swiss army rat

[getaway]

Handy like a swiss army knife, here comes a nifty swiss army bike. They are in principle indestructible . I own it since more or less 15 years and its made in the late 1930ties. It was allways my chosen bike when it came to a pub crawl or other big boys stuff. The bike is heavy as hell 27k and has no gears or something like this. But is a good roller and gets realy fast, but the breaks, well lets not talk about breaks or other girlystuff, in the end its a lads bike.

thats how it looked, pretty much original, just a "new" stand and a new brooks saddle

and thats what I made out of it:
-new grips and a seat from electra wtih flowers
-painted a go-faster stripe on the rear fender
-changed the lights to LED
-moved the rack to the front (still looking for a basked)
-moved numberplates to the side

Wow cool! I've always liked those European Army bikes! My friend has a WWII Russian Army bike that is geared so low I think you could winch yourself up the side of a cliff with it!

Somewhere in my computer I've got a pic of a fully decked out Swiss Army bike.... complete with a canteen, rifle, bayonet and all of the things someone would need in a battle. It looks like the ultimate Urban Commuter Bike to me!

Xddd.... you've got a cool ride there!
