seanycozzie16v Posted March 17, 2016 Posted March 17, 2016 So heres my new ride! my first foray into the bike world! And a cheap one at that! My friend advertised this on facebook for £150 had a bit of a chat about the bike. offered him 100 quid and to my surprise he took it! v5 and 2 keys present! It was in a bit of a state when i picked it up as it was sitting in a garage for 8 years sitting there doing nothing. Brakes seized. frame rusty in places. engine didnt run etc. anyways i decided to take a gamble and 40 quid later on odds and sods here and there like mirrors, indicators, brakes, spark plugs etc here it is today. just added a nice set of turn out exhausts too. makes it sound a lot more beefy! this its the bike after a good 3 hour clean today! its not ready for the road just yet as it needs a new chain and sprockets and a rear wheel bearing!http://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174215_zpsdly33omk.jpghttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174139_zps71oiiimb.jpghttp://i713.photobucket.com/albums/ww138/Seany205GTI/20160317_174149_zpsmekcien2.jpgwhat do we all think?? bear in mind this bike was only £100 Quote

Gin Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Well done mate! Nice find I was dreading this was going to be a thread about a "Bargain" Chinese bike.. Quote
tPIC Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 That's £100 very well spent. Well done that man. Shows what a bit of imagination and elbow grease can do for a project. Quote
JoshTimmins Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Nice! if you see another bargain like this one let me know Quote
Throttled Posted March 18, 2016 Posted March 18, 2016 Wow, if you had said you paid £1000 I would still have been impressed! Quote
