I mean, yes, it's nice, but five grand?

eBay item 180427003212

 

Very nice, but its not a bike, its a museum piece.

With my recent hard-won experience of ebay listings:

"...The bike is valued at £10-12000..." - valued by whom? Or did he
mean "£10 - £12000"?

 

In communiqué

Quite so, a more recent interment like a Nordwest is a far superior
machine and an original supermoto concept, not a lash up. Oh, hang on, I
just sold mine.

Nice. But why? I mean, I did this to mine back in 1980, but only
because the forks were bent beyond repair in a smash and I managed to
swap the nice alloy 21" front wheel for an entire Kwak front end for
no extra dosh (of which I had none). It was already a great bike on
the road, so I reckone the only advantage to this would be the wider
availability of tyres in the new size, as I don't suppose 21" road
tyres are that easy to come by.

Heh. But yes, one of those unreal "values".
