Son posted it on Gum-tree for me, better check next time he gets the spelling correct. Wassell frames made in the UK top accessories such as reh hubs etc. Uses the Sachs motor as in Pentons, Hercules, DKW etc. motor was rebuilt top to bottom by a gentleman at Tamborine Mountain and hasn't, fired a shot yet. Waiting on a new petcock as the last one was leaking. Paid $2500 three years ago for the bike and spent the $800 on refreshing the motor. Is a fast little bike and the only thing with them is to take time shifting to ensure clean changes as all Sachs motors require this. Have it on at $1800 but willing to negotiate. Have bought a flat tracker to make it easier on the back( 4 discs fused) so a few toys have to go. May be able to transport as I go Brisbane to Melbourne every 10 weeks or so. It's a good buy. Have something different on the line. Excellent value for a racer who wants a few more rides on a race day.

A mate has a Wassell frame and seat that he'll probably part with for the right offer. That was yours on Gumtree I presume Ross?

Yep was mine Firko, sold it to a gentleman of similar age a little bit south of Bris Vegas and he is keen to ride and race it so it will be looked after and circulating locally so I'm pretty happy with the result. Gives me a few dollars to spend on the new project that should be on the boat in a week. Son is pretty keen to share the new project which will be good cos at least it will get fanged sometimes and then obviously punted quietly around by the son. Oops day dreaming again!
