Title: Any old Iron
Post by: Rozabikes Tim on March 01, 2016, 10:20:19 PM

Think old Steptoe has found ebay!! :o

Got to read the description and starting price. "Most bits stripped and in protective coating" - that will be ferous oxide then.....

Unreal!

I don't see much evidence of protective coating either.  Oxides on aluminium do protect, but ferrous oxide is porous.  The thing is though, it will probably sell for that price to someone thinking it just needs cleaning and assembly.  Not sure why folk think that newspaper or old curtains protect anything, especially in a damp garage. 
Frame number looks to be around early part of 76, so will be tax exempt from next April - something in its favour I suppose.

He listed this back in January at £1000. Presumably no takers ....
Hadn't spotted the drum brake, maybe that makes it worth a bit more .... or maybe not.
No idea what the rack pictured is from either, the arms are way too short for a 400.
