Before you respond, if you have owned one of these, can you please leave it for someone else to have a go? This includes you TOO Graham.

David, thank you for adding SPAIN to the list of Countries that produced Trials bikes but the MYSTERY bike is NOT a :montesa 123!

Listen out for a CLICK followed by brief SILENCE and then a DULL WHIRRING sound as people who own or have owned one of these work it out. Their realization leaves them in a CONUNDRUM as I have asked for them not to post the answer. I am however sympathetic to their QUANDARY , so please post that you have CLICKED without giving Clues?

IF you are unsure, PM me for confirmation.........

Thanks for having a Go!

Only if the F is the first letter of an expletive adjective preceeding the bike's official name

After discussing various clues from you photo with my amazing wife, she suggested that a suitable alternate name for the bike might be POLLASTRO
