Hmmm, is anyone located in the Bornemouth area who could pick up and ship to the US for a suitable fee? Kevin, want to make a few bucks? Of course it might be better to have it resprayed prior to shipping, in which case just pick up and deliver to the painters who will then ship it.

It's in my size........and not so far away........but funds won't allow such a purchase!
Looks like it would make a super bike, assuming the frame is sound [no rust or cracks etc]
I suspect Mark Stevens will be watching this one?
