Ready for winter...
Bryanj:
Any decent bike shop should have them, an 18 inch will fit either wheel

Rim tape ordered but wheel still in need of wire brushing.

Wow, I thought I had found a 1972 frame with V5 but was shocked that the bidding went so high. Is this a reasonable price now for a box of bits?

The K plate (free tax) is desirable on it's own (with the frame and V5 of course...)

That is why I wanted it, I thought as my bike needs a bit of work now I could swap everything over to the 1972 frame at the same time. Oh well, maybe one day one will turn up locally. They seem to be getting rarer all the time, hence the price I suppose.
The passage of time and motorbike values is a strange thing. In 1979 my father bought a Triumph Tiger T110 from his motorcycling enthusiast friend for the paltry sum of £150. His friend only sold it because for his taste it was too modern! It had telescopic forks!! I wanted to put it back together and ride it but was not allowed as my father thought it was too powerful for me. The boxes loitered in our garage for a year or too before being sold on again without profit. Anyway, I digress, I imagine we can all daydream about the bikes we should have kept.
