how much to send it to aus

Give me an address and i will work out a price, just sent the tm cheney frame to the USA and it cost £150 GBP with Fed Ex. door to door in 4 Days. think it would be around the same price.

What have you got planned now marc?

Good buy Matey.. Here's a basket case that was on eBay a while ago. The choices are basically two....build a KSI style bike like the one shown which is a Cheney and not an actual KSI or build it as stupid old Eric envisioned as shown in the basket case. Both styles are cool in my opinion.

Going on Marc's taste in all things simons I'm guessing the KSI

You  say the frame is 1973, under the rules of vintage would it be aloud to race pre75, ( l would say as long as that person can prove that it was manufacture in 1973. there shouldn`t be a problem, but he would need to have proof.

Dave, in the early 90s Paul Giles raced his Cheney XL in pre '75 here in NSW with no problems. I've got a '74 Cycle Guide (or Cycle) magazine with a test of the bike. According to the magazine testers, the bike performed pretty well until the Gas Girling shocks went off...on the third lap. With far better shocks available today I reckon it wouldn't be the problem it once was.
Pauls son Shawn will eventually bring the bike out of hibernation for some skids, probably at a CD style event.

Thats Great mark , what wood a nice frame like that worth. bring it out, l hate seeing bikes locked away in sheds, l say, if you got it show it off let us enbrace it.

what wood a nice frame like that worth

It's worth whatever Marc paid for it. And Shawn is not allowed to ride the Honda in public because of his Suzuki contract. You'll be able to "embrace" it one day soon.

I have a few chassis parts kicking about so I will do it as silly old Eric envisioned, so short travel bike, will be good usable bike given that engines are easy to find.

I saw that frame on a US website for best offer over $2000.. that seems like pretty good value for what it is.

[ola_martin]

Nice frame Marc!  How about throwing on the chassisparts from a cr250m? Just a thought, I think that the bike above really isn't the one old Eric felt was his most beautiful creation. At least I know I REALLY don't And you already have a KSI......

Silly old Eric : stupid old Eric ? Bit rough isn't it lads ? He may not have been retailer of the century, but surely the design, function and success of his frames is above reproach ? Even the Ribi front end showed he was aggressive in his thinking into the latter years....and I don't think Rickman can boast a world title in their cv...
Phil Read's win in the 1971 world 250 title was on a privateer Yamaha TD2 with a Fath-tuned engine in a Cheney frame...
