Home brew I think.

The kick start/gear change lever looks vulnerable for trials work :o.

AT1 rear hub ;).

Me too, it looks like a home made conversion on a CZ 175 commuter roadie. The tank appears to be off a TM125 Suzuki, Viking brand plastic rear guard, obviously home made exhaust system.

When were kids my mate and I were given one of these old CZ 175's by old Mr Freeman down the road. We used to take it up to the Maroubra Sandhills and terrorise the nudists and perverts as teenage boys are keen to do ;D. I remember the bike being a grunty little bugger that'd climb just about anything us 14 year olds would throw at it.

 Like mx250 says, that gear lever/kickstarter /clutch actuator lever can be a problem.
 I built up a special out of a 250 jawa [the one before the Californian] for Moorebank scrambles. That bloody great lever would bounce up and down on the bumps through the sand section and make the clutch slip, plus if you put pressure on the shaft with your heel the gearlever would then flop about loosely connected to nothing.I eventually relieved myself from it before the Pal electrics sent me bonkers.
cheers pancho.
