    I find this post pretty fucking funny.

    Good greif, three pages of people waxing lyrical about Hillmans. All I said is I'd rather have one than a smegging trike.

    Anyway won't someone save the thread by posting some old TM shitter so we can continue to laugh at bearded hipsters that were trying to be wannabes but found out that they dinnawannabe?
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Who is that masked man. He's dreamy.

    Try this. For a kit project bike, this is more just a collection of manky parts

    Next listing down, four grand for something with a Villiers engine. It might be old, but its not a classic.

    This is a good starting point for a complete collection of every major British classic motorbike. You just might have to find a few separately. . . . and a few parts for this one.

    This doesn't belong here, I just wanted to post it up as the antithesis of this thread subject matter. It's fukn cool, it is a classic, it was super ground breaking when launched.

    The price is reasonable and the photos catalogue every bit of damage in an honest format.

    I used to thrash around on Johan Bruns' one of those. Really cool bikes back in the day. Puka Puka.

    now that's where you're out of touch, blue smoke and pedal bikes have a cult following in some parts of the country, think this is top dollar but would tick a lot of boxes for some people, especially as they get older and it's about all they can ride to still keep their finger in the pie...

    I raced a MK1 RS2000, Needed a ton of work to go around a corner but was fun.

    Yeah yeah. I've learned that there is more to most things than my own enjoyment levels in anything. Sorta happened when I started getting getting my mental under control.

    I appreciate that the irony does need to be pointed out though.

    If he hadn't removed the TSS or Nourish 8V head from the auction I would consider that about the right value.
    Shame its not a wideline frame though, also that 8 stud heads are not 9 stud heads.
    Its also got the triumph/bsa 2LS conical hub (bowden cable brake) rather than the more sought after conventional linkage earlier hub.
    They were pretty as a rear but not so sharp as a front.

    I was advised against imports, unless they were sold here as well - something to do with getting parts?
