I'm thinking of putting a pedal on each end of the crank and using it as an exercise bike 🤣🤣🤣🤣

If you get this (and I really hope you do) will you be performing a teardown like Hettie! Would be a fantastic project on this site if you do...

I'm definitely going to bid on it and I've already decided what my maximum bid will be. If I do end up owning it, I will see it as a project bike. It may, or may not have done only 1 push mile but its been sitting around for not far off 45 years, that to me is a huge negative. So yes, the bike will be totally stripped and rebuilt.
Edit.... This bike was discussed a couple of years ago on Facebook. I can't remember if it was put up for sale back then and if it was I can't remember if it sold or not.

Graham should be bidding on the 1st UK batch CB750 in the same auction  ;D

They have updated the listing now since I emailed them about all of the errors but still not corrected the engine number !
