Just bought the same bike at a flea market. Needs major work but should look good when its all done. Any tips on restoration or parts?

Thx,

Any idea where to find out the age. Mine I bought for my daughter is similar but a green girls. The serial # looks like HL05529. The serial # searches I found were only american bikes. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Rob (Winnipeg)

Hi!

Your bike's production date is 1972.
This bike has made in the Csepel factory, Budapest. The Hungarian name was Csepel "Tihany".
Just look:

Hi Nathan,
Nice bike. I have one myself. If you want to sell any of the parts off of it let me know. I am looking for fenders, wheels. You can email me nichol_jason@hotmail.com anytime, I will always be interested in picking up new parts. I am in the Vancouver area.

Thanks,
Jason

I have one of the bikes identical to the brown one in the picture and it is like that other post described with the pouch on the back. Tied in the rafters of a house I just bought and it has never been used because the rubber pieces from the mold when the tire was made are not even worn off. Where do you find the serial number ? I will look and maybe somebody can figure out what year it is. I am on Vancouver island.

i love this bike, i bought one at a flea market years back and enjoyed the heck out of it, i was slolen from my garage 2 summers ago, if i ever see one again ill buy it. i miss it

I really like the chain guard!
