GUys say frame stamp says TS 1974. so by going on the bits he must have been keeping it alive all these years with other bikes.

Any how any one want to make this guy an offer, or should i just let him slide ?  Pokey what do the weigh ;) ?

250 is a way different frame than the 185.  doubrt a 250 engine would fit in.

 Would love it but its not worth more than say $100 or so and transport to gladstone would kill  it for me.

The forks are the same diameter as Rm80  (skinny)  just shorter legs.
 engine in a 185 is 185 only some of the cogs will fit but different ratios and the clutch will do a TM125. The hubs are larger diameter than TM125 and weigh the same ... steel rims are heavy... triples are small and cast iron lower alloy top. seat is heavier and wont fit a TM.

Only useful for TM125 swaps but not much. Hmmm if you get stuck with the engine freaky  and i can get that up here  Id take that off ya as long as I can get it to go via Loz for a bit of a  fiddle ;D

I'll take the front wheel  ;D if it's available..I 'need' a pair of mudcatchers and that would be a start...lets buy it as a group thing and disect it..mind you $100-$150 all up is about it's worth as it sits.
