[QUOTE="Comet, post: 40299, member: 137"] That's a really helpful comment martyn. Well done. Mike I am sure that many other people will help you out with advice. I would say the bike will probably want taking apart so you can recheck everything and any work already done. Every now and again we hear of a bike that has been "rebuilt by a professional" only to find it is quite a mess. The only way to be sure is to get it apart and double check it . As far as value. It is very difficult to say without a bit more info. Is the paintwork original? Are the parts original? Is there any history with the bike? None of these points will make any difference to the fun of riding it though. A non matching machine goes just as well as the very best concourse winner. However, the very best conkers winner will not be taken out in the snow and rain of a fine English summer. Good luck though and dont be put off. Join the club, it is the best possible way of getting a huge amount of info and making a few friends as well. John [/QUOTE]
