Right, I've been scratching my head on this one a bit trying to work out its value, so decided to throw it out there for opinions
UK Matching Numbers 4L0 frame and engine crankcases (matched pair of course)
Now, several things to note:
1. UK V5 in my name, but the registration mark is a Northern Ireland plate - XOI22** - but it IS a UK bike (since NI is part of Great Britan !!)
2. Its had 3 owners from new
3. The frame has had a repair to the "gusset" that goes from the head stock to the down tubes (this is not crash damage from what I can tell, more repaired some rust/rot at a guess), its not a bad repair, but is visible, but could be made a lot better with a little work
4. The frame has been powder coated and never assembled since then
5. The crank cases have been vapour blasted
I was going to build my stroker engine into it, but its a waste of a UK matching numbers frame and engine, so I've sourced another frame to build that bike into now
So thoughts on value
