Mine is still pretty scruffy, annoyingly not much good stuff comes up on
ebay to pretty it up, so it's a tough job. Still tempted to completely
strip it but I still don't know if I want to keep it - more miles this
summer will tell me.

I'd have a bid on this if I seriously thought the reserve was about 2k,
but I reckon it's more up around 3-3.5k.

That was *exactly* my reaction when I looked at the pix.

Nah, I've been riding mine over the last few days and apart from some
highly annoying front fork problems I'm really enjoying riding it so
I'll stick with mine. I need to ride it to get some miles out of the
money I've spent fettling anyway, as I'll doubt I'll get it back if I
sell.

"he previous owner was an engineer. In his wisdom, he had decided that
having purchased the bike it was far too fast for him and he would
remove the turbo to make it slower"

Don't like the colour, but rest of it looks in good nick. The first one
went to 2.5k and didn't make reserve, I was hoping it'd sell at 4k,
bounce the value of mine up a bit :-)

I was watching that, let me know how you get on with it - if it makes no
difference to yours I might be asking to borrow it :-)

There was a TPS setup tool that was up around 70 quid as well - I
decided to stick to the manual method!
