If anyone can post any more stories about this bike then please do so. I only vaguely remember that he bought it off a chap who was of large build and Mark felt it had had a hard life previously.

Mark's dependable hack
It is not the first of the bikes we have sorted and so isn't in chronological order. It is however his old faithful commuter bike and the last one he rode before heading off to Bristol by car. It is a MZ TS 150 (SET 572S) from the 1970's. He was really chuffed with how reliable it was and how well it performed. It is comparable in performance with my tired ETZ 251 Kanuni which is over 15 years younger but perhaps 40k miles older.
The 150 stood at Yorkshire Water offices for a couple of months and was blown over in the wind. Yvonne Oades and Dave Ramsden rescued it from there. It is now got a home with them so it is the first of the collection to go. This was picture was taken in their garage come workshop.

It was good to see this one running at the How Stean Winter Rally this last weekend.
