What’s he asking for it and what is it worth My view in that state 1.5 to 2k 2.5 Personally I would pay more and find a better bike Certainly would not buy that without seeing it - I suspect the engine has been hammered as well as it having a rust transplant I'm normally say in "Do It" on this occasion my view is "Think Very Carefully"

Very sorry to see how it has been treated. Not the sort of bike to trash. Would need an engine out bare metal strip down just to get down to it. I must agree with Pete. But for sentimental reasons, it needs thinking about. If anything, bid him in the b***s !

Heart says? Head says? To get the chance to get your old bike is fantastic...if you loved and enjoyed it. You obviously did. The before and after pics are jaw dropping. Yes, use the bike but look after it. Quite a jump in mileage too. Any evidence of what servicing has been done? Offer bottom book. He's most likely offering it back to you hoping he can get a sentimental wedge off you and not its true value.

In that state tell him if he pays you 50 Quid you will take it away
Yes agree Head and Heart
Lets see if Nicks Head over rules or not - would not put a wager on this

Look on webuyanybike. Guaranteed to get the lowest valuation! I tried to see what a SD would be and they don't exist on there.

Prob a daft question but why did you sell? Longish story Robin but I sold the bike to part fund the purchase of a 1967 BSA Lightning. This was not the BSA I own now, this was another one. In the end that BSA was sold to a collector.

I did not comment as I was aware of the wind up, having said that I’m amazed how many were caught out I though you all knew Fungobat.
