I am the buyer of the McClean under discussion. I just read Dale's post, and while it certainly didn't do much to boost my morale, I did realize it would be a project when I bought it. I sought Dale's advice, but he was partying in California (must be nice...wish I had been there, too) and I was flying by the seat of my pants.
What I would like to do is offer to send Jpegs and the seller's explanation of some of the irregularities on the bike to any interested List members when I get the bike and solicit their advice on where to go next and what I should do with the bike. As to the latter, no suggestions will be entertained which would enrich my Proctologist in any way. Having never actually seen a McClean in the flesh, I am flying blind here.
Let me know off list if you want pics or more info.
Thanks all,
Tom Sanders
