Dirt Bike Magazine article: Reviving a '75 Penton 175

[JCHubbard]

I recall this article by Paul Clipper in October 1979 (had a subscription to Dirt Bike magazine), as clear as day, when I was just 13 years old and still riding my old ratty but stone cold reliable '68 Maico 360 GS (with an up-pipe). I remember thinking this would be a great template to follow for an upgrade to my Maico -- back then.

I never did, of course. My part-time grocery job only paid a modest amount. Sold that bike in the summer of 1980, but the memory of that Maico always stuck with me, well into adulthood...And as they say -- the rest is history

Still, even in 2025, I think this DB article is a pretty good template to follow for resurrecting old Pentons and similar Euro steeds.  Hope you all enjoy the article.
