[The Paragon \-----------](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/332) __Posted by:__ Richard Worsham __Make:__ Handmade __Model:__ Handmade __Parts:__ The engine is a [Puch E50](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/browse/?search=Puch%20E50), the cylinder is a [Puch 74cc Gilardoni](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/332#), the pipe is a [Puch Magnum MLM BK100](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/332#), and the carb is a [Mikuni TM 24mm Flatside](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/332#). __What's cool:__ Most moped builds at least start with a frame or chassis or tank from a vintage bike, but the Paragon was built entirely by hand. Then it was powered by vintage parts. Also: Just look at it. It's gorgeous. __Kastner said:__ "This is the number one build on Garage. All handmade, and looks amazing!" *Photo: Peter McDaniel*

Also, it packs enough power to actually [push another moped and rider](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SJcnc5b2iHE&sns=em) when they run out of gas. __Kastner said:__ "Super cool because it is one of the first monster mopeds, where the builder took one moped and mashed it up with another to create a whole new moped."

[ShredPed 1.0 \------------](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/70) __Posted by:__ Peter McDaniel __Make:__ Motobecane, 1978 __Parts:__ The cylinder is a [Motobecane AV10 70cc Polini](http://www.1977mopeds.com/parts/engine/cylinder-kits/motobecane-av10-70cc-polini-kit.html), the pipe is also Motobecane. __What's cool:__ The Motobecane bikes of the late 1970s are some of the most popular for modders, and this one – which commenters on Garage are already calling "the moped that changed how Moped Army mopeds" – is a classic example of why. (It also [comes in blue](http://garage.1977mopeds.com/build/71).) __Kastner said:__ "One of the most iconic mopeds in the history of Moped Army, and/or moped culture. Super well-built."

Super iconic starter moped – the Puch Magnum – and then added a really high-performance motor setup."
