That bike was meant to be mine about 3-4 years ago
on another site a guy was selling it in it's original form - i offered a price and the deal was 99% sorted
then some Muppet piped up and told the seller that it was worth more if they took it apart and restored it, all this was done in pm's and behind my back - the seller cut communication with me and for years i pm'd him as of why he never got back to me ? no answer at all
then about a month ago he pops up on the site and shows what has been done and so now we see it sold
here is the original form in what i was going to buy it
another one missed - better luck next time
