I might pass it on then or trade it.  I'll wait for it to arrive and see what it's like in the flesh first.

Just got this picture from the seller with the serial number on.

I got an email from him today saying that the serial number on the bb was probably low.

"The only number I see on the bb is either a 9 or a 6. That woyuld make this an incredibly valuable bike if it truly were that low of a serial number!"

Picture of the rear dropout.

F**k the community. Hardly anyone here was riding at that time and dont know the dirt bros. That is like finding Bob Haros Torker and building it back to a race bike!

Just what we need .... another spec TA! :LolLolLolLol:

sorry si, but i gotta agree with alex, if you want a ta they keep coming up on usbay, £113 the other week, and you need ta forks for that one there harder to find than the bloody frames

Ok, Ok, Ok

It's going to stay as is.

Should I restore it to showroom spec or keep it as a survivor?

Anyone got any brochures on the Dirt Bros bikes so that I can see what they looke like as they rolled out the factory so to speak.

"Showroom spec", "Brochures"? Spoken like a tru 80s rider! That IS showroom spec. If you wanna see a Brochure, check out the "Ride Like a Man" Vid that was made in Eddie Romans Bedroom. That is all the Brochures there were.

Sorry, Zippy. I am giving you a bit of a hard time, just playing with you a little. Great to hear you arent going to make it shinny and new. DONT REMOVE THE STICKERS. I really do think we need to talk about it cos that bike means so much to so many people (you should see my Email in box since you posted those pics!!).

The only thing you should change is take off the front brake and gyro, and maybe put on a front tuff
