Neil ,

Is the guy you're doing the road bike for gonna keep it for sentimental reasons or is he just gonna 'bay it ? . I ask because I wondered if there's a story or two about that actual bike and him or his family etc ............

Neil i cant imagine the pressure you have been under with this resto job :crazy2:

If any of those parts had been lost/broken or something other the guilt would have been large IMO  I sweat when applying decals for someone else :LolLolLolLol:

After all you have done the guy should be stocked and your skills are top draw buddy :daumenhoch:

Matt

he said he wants to ride it again . i might have the story wrong a little bit but i think he bought it off the bloke who won the 1965 tour -de france .

maybe then neil give a resto a scan over before hand and give an estimate , in writing , to the owner , tell em the most itll be too , up to them then , if they accept  get a deposit off em , do em a deposit receipt with the estimate price on to and get em to sign it , you have a copy and they have one too

Well just keep hold of the bike till he pays up  ;)


How long would you have to keep it for before it legally becomes your property ,  ???


Then Ebay it , or sell on a vintage road bike forum ,,  :daumenhoch:


You'll get your fees back and , anything else you make would be a bonus . :4_17_5:

Only problem being is it's money tied up  :-\

dont haggle neil or you will be peaved when he walks away with all your hard labour, and he will be laughing behind your back....
if you had a gentlemans agreement about costs, stick to it, you are legally entitled to keep the bike until he pays up as you have an interest in it...


oh!  and well done on the resto...  loks fookin amazing.... :4_17_5:
