We have a winner!
« on: September 27, 2011, 02:49:25 am »
As far as I can tell it's a 76, 77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, 83, 84.   ;D

Please do not take this as an indictment of our educational system.  I blame it on spell-checker.  ::)

I think his $2.50 price could be about right  :D

And peace be with you ;D.

I think it starts with a '74 DT250 frame engine and rear wheel doesn't it?

At least the price is reasonable. You could break it up for the parts.

Love the air filter :P.

Because of the radial head I was thinking it was a '76-'77 DT250 that ran hard up the ass of an '83 YZ490.  ::)

It sure must look funny when it's on it's wheels...  let's face it, 10-12" of front travel with 4" at the back is going to work well.  :o

I was thinking the same thing Ajay ;D That's very cunning sales technique sitting it on the stand like that. I reckon it'd look like a bad dream chopper wannabe from the Deus ex Machina show sitting on its wheels :o.

I can just see the new owner turning up at the Oz Championships and arguing with the scrutineers - "Of course it is stock!!! Just the way it came out in '74".

Perhaps Dave Tanner can add his 2 cents worth…

It's art..........................a modern exitential interpretation of a classic scrambles machine as used in the era, worthy show piece in any collection.

Still overpriced at $2.50
