Starting price looks about right in terms of ‘sum of the parts’ … but it’s not a good mix IMO. If you want to build a TZ from it then you need a TZ engine, or at least a dry clutch..and that’s going to cost too much if you hunt for one of those independently. In contrast , if you build it up as a TZ/RD bitza track bike then forks, yokes, tank and rear hub would end up as relatively expensive period parts that wouldn’t get to do themselves justice if buried on a mixed build…
The last comment in the add is telling … might sell in bits…
Lastly if anyone has very different opinion and fancies a monoshocked TZ 350A frame , with nice suspension, TZ forks, TZ wheels, engine, carbs, tank options…. Or any combination…Then PM me first ! 😂😂😂

Haha, yea I've looked at that. It's been on ebay for quite a while now, and you are dead right - I love the look ! But I've got one already, languishing under a sheet in the garage. The only time the sheet comes off is so I can turn the engine over a few times on the kickstart !! ![:-/](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/undecided.png) I should have finished it at the time - 6 years ago now - but I did the 400 hybrid and the yellow Lc, and started the 250Lc as well so it gets forgotten sadly. I would like to revisit it at some point though. When I bought the spokey Pv that Yogi built I had designs on swapping the wheels from that into the Cafe bike, and the 3 spokes from the Cafe bike into the Pv. I think the spoked wheels would look awesome on the Cafe build, and more in keeping with the theme; 20210608_092636 by dusty miller, on Flickr 20240426_103924 by dusty miller, on Flickr Time, money and room are keeping me away from all of them at the mo ![???](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/huh.png) I need to retire (again) ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

Do it as soon as you can Steve. I was only 50 when I went the first time so always knew I would have to do another job. I'm 60 in 2 and a bit years and would love to stop then, but we'll see. Certainly dont miss night shifts though !! ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)

I keep thinking to retire, but nowadays so much WFH it's a bit like retirement practice my daughter tells me with money going into the pension rather than out!
