That's been for sale for a while now, it only reached $4000 on ebay last week.
I thought it would've sold by now at $6600

The TLS brake is off angle. :(
-
It might be a C&J frame but it isn't what you would call race ready. For a start I think it has modified later model CR forks that are way too long and the brake lug is in the wrong position. The look of the geometery because of the too tall front end is way wrong. The exhaust headers are standard XL type and there is no muffler. C&J Honda's had a nice big diameter, 2 piece header pipe and ran a reverse megaphone muffler.

Surely as a kit bike you can do it how ever you want? I doubt I any two hand built bikes are the same.
If you don't like it change it.
Not that you are going to buy to anyway!

Looks great. Cheap I would have thought.
Sure some of the details are a bit lacking, but nothing that cant be sorted.
-
The things that are wrong with that are easy fixes, slide the forks up, lengthen the shocks, put the correct backing plate in, fit a muffler..too easy.
Still a cheap C&J!
-
agreed.
Easy fixes.
Not an expensive bike, I doubt you could build it for that price (even if you use an hourly rate of £0.00!)
You get a lot of bike for your money at the moment......

I agree. It is a cheap C&J.....I was just pointing out the issues that need to be addressed....nothing major at the end of the day. Yep, you can build a bike anyway you like it but to say the bike is a race ready VMXer is just not true. Well, not to my eye anyway.
