I was just chatting with my grandpop's about getting a new bike and he told me he bought this bike for 5 pounds as his first bike and when ever he went past his mum's shop she would hide so he wouldn't wave and fall off.

LOL. Would be good if you could pick bikes up these days that cheap. You mabe can but there ones that are like falling to bits and need lots of work doing on them

Hi

I might find out in a year or so. Slowly paying out to get the bits from my dads old Vincent restored. Not sure what end of the deal I got being given a Vincent if I pay the restoration bill.

All the best

Hi

Think the costs are going to be in the region of £3500~£4000 with me doing the assembly work but someone experienced doing the restoration of the basic parts and building the engine up.

All the best
