Have to admit it looks like a stunning restoration.

Yeah impressive. You dealt with him before? I've heard on other forums he pays top prices for high-quality bikes. Guess if he can achieve these prices makes sense..

For that price I would expect the correct double-cut fender ( mudguard). obviously an import from the rear light.
He bought a sloper CD175A from eBay for £2.5k a few weeks ago and is selling it for £4.5k. say no more!
Think SteveD has been to his shop.
Didn't he sell Dick Emery's CBX?

Cheers ... AshD

Eamon and I used to drop in to see Frank on our way back up the A40 after visiting the Ace Cafe.

He and Eamon were on "banter" terms as he was always after Eamon's bikes (for no money)

I did see Dick Emery's CBX there once - I don't know whether he sold it or was just showing it off though.

It's only worth what someone is willing to pay, he can ask what he wants but what it sells for maybe completely different. The last thing any true bike enthusiast wants to see is prices going through the roof and speculators buying bikes to lock away.

VJMC is a good place to look. Here's Emery's CBX (with new owner) in 2009
