Aside from the multiple bits that are missing, he didn't even bother replacing the footpeg rubbers! "Complete restoration" indeed...

Tex, im sure complete restoration means  "this p*xbucket needs $100,000000  spent on it!"

Tex, your searching for DT 125's
These models aren't really up there with the known 'name' restorers

Your powers of deduction are quite extraordinary.

These so called "name" restorers don't know what they're missing! I can think of a few names for this optimistic chap. My own DT was more complete and if you knock a zero off the end of this guy's price you're pretty close to what I paid for it!

These "Harrow gold medal winning bikes" you mean!

its not a dad restoration, there could be more done, I think your being a bit picky,  he is covering his cost and moving on, l can relate to that.

No I think it is a dad restoration
It's the sort of shit my dad would have done

Well spotted Tex, Quite possibly THE BEST GUMTREE AD EVER!!

It has

- awesome speeling
- great grammar (and shit)
- a super secret racing mower prototype in the background
- some of the most subtle rattle can overspray on both front and back wheels I've ever seen
- dual exhausts, possibly not functional?
- an actually nice looking gloss black paintjob on the tank (maybe the starting point for the project) before the meth kicked in.
- artistically minimalist use of stickers
- a pig in the background
