    Thats why i went for them, i used to run red/black fire xc pro's waaay back when, when they first came out and i saw them on CRC and though yes ive gotta have them for old skool reasons and the fact the red/black is in keeping with the bikes colour scheme, i still wanna fit my DCD though lol

    Always fancied a Dyane, but a 2cv would do I suppose.

    Nice colour match, tyres and car.

    Great value bikes them. :D

    nice looking bike fella, like the colour scheme throughout the bike too, hear a lot about these bikes so is good to what they can be made intio as such. good work!

    2cv's are cool! simple engeneering at its best!
