Hi Andrew.So sorry to hear about your wife and the terrible recent times you have gone through. Nothing can replace your loss but you have one very important thing you will never lose, the very special memories you had together. I know your enthusiasm will have understandably taken a huge knock with what has happened but if I were you I would let a bit more time pass before you decide to sell the bike on. I have read all your posts concerning your sympathetic restoration of the bike and the pride you have taken in doing it. It would such a shame to give up on it now with probably only a good few days of work left to complete it. It would also be a loss to the forum if you sold the bike and we didn’t hear from you again as you would be without a sohc!I am unable to put a value on the bike other than to say it should be worth a very decent amount given the time, effort and money you have put into it.I would keep it for now if it were mine, the summer is on the horizon, lockdown is ending, the days are getting longer and given time to get over your terrible loss your enthusiasm will return.All the best for whatever you decide to do.Dave
Hi Andrew,I have only just read your post, I echo the sentiments already posted here wishing you well as you come to terms with your loss.For many years my wife was a volunteer at the Derby McMillan Unit so we are well aware of how precious and fragile life is.With the support of your friends and family, the passage of time, you will I feel sure eventually work on the bike again as a healing distraction.All the best for the future I look forward to reading your posts on the progress be it this year or next.Cheers Ted
