Bought myself a load of bits to build a flat tracker, however my garage is still months from being built then I’ve got to get the Lc properly finished etc. So thinking of moving this lot on, ac 250 frame, ac 250 bottom end, 4l1 std barrels and head, ac oil tank and swing arm, then got brand new spoked wheels F &R tdr front hub with alloy rims etc, front fits tzr forks, tzr 250 forks, yokes disc and caliper. It would be the good basis of a special. Not sure how to value it and don’t really want it to go on eBay. Any ideas?

Do you have a V5 for the frame Tim? Worth a few hundred more with that I reckon. The wheels sound valuable too. Half an engine...not so much. If the oil tank is rust free, then that's worth a bob or two. Without a V5 I'd say £700. With one, maybe a grand.

That’s the problem Alex the wheels owe me best part of £800, as they are newly built, I can get a V5 for the frame havent applied for one yet. I was going to do an ac bottom end and Lc top end, might just sell the parts individually? Or just keep them just say doing nowt, well other than increasing in value 😁

If you dont need the money, stash it all away for another day Tim. Projects and parts have rocketed, especially since last year/Covid etc, and it's now almost impossible to find a decent project for sensible money. Failing that, list it as a potential project, and accept what it owes you, nothing less, or keep hold. If you let it go too cheap, you will regret it. Dusty

All I’m doing is emptying out my garage which was a single car but it was at the back of my house it’s now got to be knocked down and a new large double bay is going up but in a different location. I’ve got the use of a spare garage but was just pondering do I let it go, but you’re right dusty don’t need to sell it. Just keep it all boxes up and finally apply for the V5. Cheers chaps 👍

I'd say get the V5 done straight away too, just in case of any changes that might be made in the future. Everything is being made harder registration wise (eg imports/NOVA)

Whats the last 2 have said. Get the V5 done, it'll always be worth more with that done. Then put it in boxes and store it, you'll be glad you did.

Knew there would be a stack of money in the wheels
People want a bargain a lot of the time so don't want to pay what stuff actually costs. (Unless it's eBay then feck knows what will happen)
Given the scarcity and price of parts now it's deffo a stash job
Get your finger out and apply for the v5, that would double the value of the frame if you do decide to part with it at a later date

Keep it, it'll be hard to replace and you already have some plans for it.

My point on the wheels if they cost £800 to build so anybody can get them built at that cost so there has to be an incentive to not buy direct from the supplier if you know what I mean. A lot also don't realise the cost and scarcity of hubs I have a brand new pair of SS Mutts pipes with alloy cans that were on a bike and ran for 10 mins before removing Now they owe me £650 but you can buy them from Mutts or Alonze for that So why is anybody going to give me £650 for mine? If you buy from the source and something unlikely like they crack I'm not sure how any comeback from Alonze is as you were not the purchaser (Wheels slightly different if original invoice supplied with them) I'll think he'll keep it 😉 Steve

I understand what your saying butt, but I don't seam to be allowed to comment, my posts are getting removed because someone doesn't like what I post, I wonder how long this 1 will stay for, I thought this was 1 of the last bastions of free speech, but it seams only to some.
I will say again, as my last post explaining was deleted, "butt" is a Welsh term for butty, bud, friend, my friend, it is not an insult, and to remove the post because of that is bordering on racist and discriminating behaviour, which is now illegal in this country, that is why I quoted your post to see if it got removed as you said what I was saying in a different way.
Not getting at you Steve.
The time spent deleting my posts would be better spent removing the Vietnamese adverts posts than removing mine.

I’m guessing Tim wants to keep but having a consensus saying the same is handy to present to the mrs as ‘supportive justification’ 😂

Well I've never met a grumpy one.....met many an old pissed up Welshman and had a great time pub crawling with them every fortnight during winter. Can honestly say.... never had a better time in my life.... The sheep has a disappointed look coz Tim has just given it a buckling....

Posts were removed as they were reported for abusive. No one persons post were removed both people involved in slagging each other of were removed a general post that is not directed at any one person will say as non of the above have been removed .
Look people disagree with other people all the time and thats fine, but this is a friendly place to help each other get and give advice and hopefully do each other deals on items for sale . Some time back now i made a post and made it sticky says "A new directive to keep the peace" / Explaining that personal attacks will be removed its been up for years so its not new. One person starts then gets a reply and then the holl post like this is of topic and all about peoples opinions about other members .

Well I am sorry to say this Norbo, but there is only 1 person on this site that resorts to using insulting language on this site on a regular basis, and we all know who that is, maybe this person should get warnings about the abusive language, considering what this person does for a living should make this person less likely to do so, this person can not argue a case without resorting to foul language, I am not the only person that thinks this either. As you say people clash, but there is no need to resort to abusive language, If you can show me one post of mine like that I will apologize.

All I can say is...... No matter what politics anyone here believes in.... I still have more in common with them than any other member of the public. And that's BIKES! I dont really give a shite what your politics are, you are still a biking kindred spirit.
"Dance off?" Firmstools... be fookin serious. WhoTF wants to see old farts doing that, jeezus the health service is stretched enough as it is..... And is your moniker "Firmstools" a boast? Or is it an eye watering problem?

Just trying to inject a little humour into the situation. The thought of a couple of older guys ( I am one too) doing Michael Jackson moves at each other amused me. Firmstools? Was a question a particularly large nurse used to ask me when I was in hospital after a bike accident, no good morning, no hello, just a blunt enquiry about my bowel movements. And back to the plot, Veg, keep it. Most of us have sold bits in a mad clear out and kicked ourselves later.

Steve! whilst I agree with the 1st part, and nearly spat my tea out when reading the 2nd, please don't take this the wrong way, normally I find your post funny, but I fail to see how fookin and the TF enhanced the post, rather it detracted from it, I was always told that the bigger the man the less they need to use profanities, that is the way I was brought up, that is all I am saying. I am not getting at you in any way, and I know that it is not meant in the way it comes across, but that could very easily be taken the wrong way, that is the point and could very easily of ended in another spat should we say. Please try and see what I mean, this is an open forum that comes up in searches on google and people can see it without being a member on the forum, kids can see this stuff, and it doesn't set a very good example of how us old geezers speak to one and other. I hope you can all see my point.
