Roger I've owned one of those so called wog >:( ones! The white ones were as much a Swedish model as all the earlier ones and I've owned quite a few from 74 up to 1985. Send me your normal email address and I'll scan you copies of the Cycle World XC125/175 1982 test (the Swedish model with polished alloy tank sides and gold rims!) if your still interested.

I've got the remnants of a '76 175 Cross Country. Small MX tank (light Blue) in an enduro frame. The engine is physically small and I'm thinking that it based on the 125CR of the year before. Two wheels ran a test at the time.

I guess that this qualifies as a 175WR from the 75-78 era.

Cheers
