I don't know if I'm asking too much for it so make me a reasonable offer and it's yours.

Runs well and I would love to keep it but I have too many bikes and I need space at home

I was very close to contacting you about this bike. I believe I may have my current ride sold (pending) and have been browsing Tme for a small -medium bike. I have a bike I'm committed to going to look at in Hamilton today, if nothing comes of this, I might still get in touch. I was put off a bit by the state of the frame re-corrosion.

dream'n sorry mate. a few friends have fixed up ex-army bikes back to their army day glory for re-enactments but they're $500 machines and had less rust.

I'll take 12 at that price!

Fair enough. I have sorted most of the bad corrosion on the frame by using a rust kill and primer then sprayed over with silver. There are still a few surface rust patches but nothing horrid. Looks a lot better now I must say.

I don't think it's $500 worth. There are worse bikes selling for over $2500!

[Tazz]

Yeah $500 is a dreaming price

Get some POR15 and fix that frame man. It is really off putting. Also some second hand stainless handlebars, (or tidy up your ones), wouldn't go astray. As it is, it doesn't look like a 3.5k bike, it looks like a beach hack.

shhhh i'm trying to get one for $500

Cheers yeah I have used some Septone rust killer stuff all over the frame etc and sprayed it all silver with automotive paint. Handlebars got a coating of both too but it could be better. Just mainly focused on the frame as that was the worst of it.

Haha cheeky

[Scubbo]

do this to it

[nzspokes]

Costs about $400 to have it powdercoated. Im getting one done next week.

[biketimus_prime]

That is pretty cool! I don't have the time to get that done though If I took it all apart to paint, I'd want to make it immaculate by the end of it. It think it'd be just a great commuter and weekend ride for someone. Will take some new pics with the rust sorted out soon if that makes it more appealing

SOLD in 11 months time.

With the frame pix in tardme you wont get any interest at the price your asking.
Repainted frame and new bars it will attract interest but still sub 3k.
