The more I look at the eBay bike the less I'm convinced of its originality. The standard DT1 wheels,
chrome pipe, metallic paint, Thermal Flow shocks, incorrect side panel (
from either a Montesa or Zundapp model), YZA clutch cover, later kick starter and that overly thick suede seat put me off. Don't get me wrong, I think it's a cool bike but for the kind of money this bike is fetching I'd want genuine Rickman hubs, proper Girling shrouded shocks, correct DT1 clutch cover, proper painted pipe and be finished in factory BRG and with a vinyl or leather seat, not suede, (
that's for dancin' shoes in a nice shade of blue, not race bikes 
) . Compare the correct factory finish bike below with our ebay bike and see what I mean. I reckon it's a typical American overrestoration.
Having slammed the originality factor, it's still a nice little scooter and I'd like it in Casa del Firkos climatically controlled garage.
