Of all of the bikes I've covered for magazines over the years, Gus Priems Adler is one of the most impressive. Not being able to find a genuine morocross Adler, Gus made one himself almost from scratch with the help of a donor road version. Somewhere online is a photo-story of the build and it's pretty amazing. I saw Gus's son cutting some laps on the bike at CD5 and it was circulating at a pretty good pace. Sure it's a 'different' looking bit of kit but if you're one of those punters who march to the beat of a different drummer....this is the bike, especially now that the pre 60 class is getting some attention. Trust me when I tell you that this bike is a jewel and a testimony to Gus Priems superb engineering skills.

Every time I see this bike, I think it's a model.  ::) (Not the Miranda Kerr type.....)

I don't mind it, it just looks a bit like it was built by Tamiya to me.  :D

Almost looks more dirt track than mx but I guess the jawas of the time weren't that far from looking like their roadbike cousins

How come I don't see any plug leads etc, is this 1 a non runner?

Just a joke Dave....a joke. The bloke who owns the Adler's a mate of mine and I'd hate to see it turned over on eBay for a quick quid without even being ridden.
