yes cheap, but will cost about 5000 to restore ;)

Ok, what have I done? ::)
I did a little research and found that rod kts are 150 bucks, piston kits 130, cable 15 etc, so I figured it wouldn't be too silly to get ridable again.
What have I missed..... ???

Nil,Zip, !! the buyer may want to ride it not restore. :-\
Good pricing around at the moment..Buyer market for sure. :P 8)

Well, I guess I'll find out soon enough..... ;)
That's the price I pay for drinking at lunch time then going on eBay...... ::)
Wish me luck!

well you've missed markup/profit margin when you re-sell it a few weeks later ;D
Looks like a bargain to me, do the work yourself and it'd be a cheap enough resto.

I hope not. I've never owned a trials bike before but have always wanted to give it a shot. Plus I really enjoy my time in the shed these days and I guess there'd be no shortage of that with one of these? :D

You Are ready wrong tony, Mainline made the comment towards me, I am defending myself with my comment, and its not about you tony.
Restoring a bike if bought cheap or not, to do a good restoration is costly, even a half baked restoration can also get costly.

Got it! ;D Sorry for jumping the gun.
You are right about any resto. There's a saying that there's nothing more expensive than a cheap Mercedes.
That may well apply here........ :-\
According to the owner, it may well be the case, but it should be fun finding out. :D
-
Good, Luck with your project, you should a lot of fun.

I must admit, tracking down bits for an old Euro thing is more fun than something that you can gets at the supermarket for. :D

Tony, Steve Eastham here in Melbourne is a good source of Ossa know how as well as doing some excellant glass and vinyl work. J
-
Thanks Jerry.
I've heard him mentioned before. You wouldn't happen to have a number for him?
-
Hey Tony,
I reckon with a bit of 'shed time' you could get an SP370 engine in there...
I know you have a few spares so it would only cost your time. ;D

Yes Tony,tracking down parts shouldn't be too difficult,good buy and should be a lot of fun when finished :D

Wash your mouth out! ;D Why would you ruin a beautiful, rare, exotic bike by putting it in an Ossa chassis....... :P :P :P
And yeah, shortshifter, I'm surprised at how easy bit seem to be to come by.
There's a couple in front of it in the queue, but I am looking forward to owning my first ever plonker. 8)
P.S. thanks for the heads up on this one, Paul.
