414..If you want a CZ for pre 78 you are pretty much limited to the '75 Falta as there were'nt too many CZ's that left Czechoslovakia after '75. The post Falta bikes were terribly outdated and no importer saw any reason to bring them in. The 1983 type 513(250) and 514(400) were released here at bargain basement prices in the early 90's and even though they look like the pre '78 works bikes, they too were sadly outdated. They're legal for Evo but you'd be stretching to get one into pre 78, even with that close resemblence to the pre 78 factory racers. Sadly, as good as CZ's are their clock had pretty much stopped ticking by 1975. The Falta CZ was a good bike in an era of great bikes. If the Falta had been released three years earlier, the story may have a different ending.

Thanks  ... a great find and read for future referance on purchasing a 513  8)

Hi Ali, I rode a 1983 380 in a "Puki" frame in Sweden a couple of years ago [VMX issue 33] and I loved it. Have other photos if you need them.
