They were an awesome fun bike mate ... but they weren't $3850 awesome  :o :o ::)

But then again .. that's our old mate VintageBrad up to his usual "polishing the turd" tricks  ;)

Although that one does look really nice :)

Does anyone actually get the asking price for these bread and butter bikes? I seen a 74 TS185 in Victoria for 4G's last week. it was a nice bike but even I wouldn't have been tempted at that price. Lala land

and cracks in the side cover ad silver paint on the screw heads etc.  Like I said and like some have experienced before with this seller, polished up turds

Still, that one looks fairly clean compared to some of them
