Firko wanted the frame only,
That's not true and you know it Dave. I wanted the whole bike but you said that you wanted to keep the GYT motor. I was happy to take the roller as you offered it to me, I could fit my Maico engine but you seem to have forgotten your own words that I could have first go at it. Seeing that you've reneged on the deal Dave, you can stick it where the sun doesn't shine ;).

Offers are off, 1 hour time limit is over, you had your chance to make me an offer, the DT1/Sprite is not for sale end of story.

Sorry is it now not for sale or is it going on ebay as you said before?

Waiting on the offer Mark, Mark you already have a frame, why do you what another sprite frame.
Dave..Get it right FFS, I wanted the whole bike or at least the roller, as per our deal. All I've got is a frame that needs a fair bit of work, you've got a complete bike with all the stuff I needed. 

Dave I stuck up for you when others were laying shit into you but now I realise that friendship comes second to the dollar with you. Sell your fu*king bike on eBay mate. I hope it makes you a happy man. ::)

No dumgeon stuff from me Spanish. I was merely pointing out to Dave that he'd promised me first dibs on the bike and that I wasn't impressed with him going against his word by threatening to put it on eBay.

I've got more than enough projects to keep me well into old age but I like the idea of building a Sprite Maico so if you've still got it Dave, I'll offer you an honest $500. Remember, I know how much you paid for it. If it's not a high enough offer bad luck, I'm not getting into a bidding war so sell it to one of the "many others" who've approached you.

I made my offer to Dave but he refused it and he's now opted to keep the bike.  ::) I've got enough interesting projects to keep me occupied without playing the bidding war game. I'm over it already :-*

Thanks Sudman but with health issues slowing the progress on my current projects I think it'd be unwise to get involved in another hot rod bike until I've both got better and then cleared up the project backlog. I normally build two new bikes a year but being sick has slowed the process to a crawl. I got my Cheney ready to take to the Nats and the Hindall RT2MX is close but I need to finish my flat tracker and the rebuild on the 'DT1 from Hell' for CD9. Then it's back into the Maico Metisse and TRIBSA projects so it'd be unfair to deprive someone else of the Sprite frame right now.

Bad luck to anyone who had been bidding on "Green Machines" Sprite. The listing for the bike with motor has been removed and relisted as just a roller.
What a waste >:(
