Someone paid over

SteveD CB500K0:
That's eBay for ya Steve!

I paid

florence:
Yes, it's dashed annoying; I started bidding on a 1971 cb500/4 frame but already it has gone over the price I'm prepared to pay.  The trouble is people like me on a limited budget are being priced out of the old bike market by people who speculate.  I might have to find the next forgotten era of bikes and enjoy them before they get too expensive.  Maybe something from the early eighties....only trouble is that's when bikes started getting very ugly.

Rozabikes Tim:
The more I get into this restoration thing it appears people get carried away thinking they can just "do up a shed", yet you can buy mush better bikes for similar or often less money. Case in point here. Hope the successful bidder is not reading this site!!!

Just been to the Classic bike show at Stafford on Sunday. Similar thing going off there it seems looking at the autojumble / junkyard!!

florence:
I don't mind if they are, it's nothing personal. each to their own thing.  I just don't have vast amounts of spare cash to spend.
