Better than the pile I bought for the money. I reckon that will probably hit the reserve and a bit if he's lucky.......

I'd buy that so I could break it.

So much wrong with that I don't know where to start.

Aye but not everyone os as super nerdy as us though. Well, you!

Thats £16oo quids worth of smiles for somebody, theyre not all showroom correct resto's, some poor bugger has put his heart and soul into that bless him. Bet he's gutted to flog it, come on, who like selling bikes? Certainly not me.

Somebody is gonna be really happy with that and then get home and come on here and go, aaaaahhhhh, bu*!

the pipe is rather odd...and the bars look very strange indeed. LED indicators look out of place too, but aside from that, it's not that bad.

I suspect rhe thing was bought to restore, then the guy lost interest, let it sit in the shed for 10 years, and is moving it on to get the space back. There is probably a lot of stuff that needs sorting with it, but its better than some I have seen up for sale.
