Would you Buy a Bike you Haven't Seen?

[One Ball 1971]

So glad I went to see the bike. It had obviously been left out in weather, lots of corrosion, dry rusty chain and god knows what else I would have found when I got it home as it clearly hadn't had it's next clocked service. Ended up seeing a bike in Wolverhampton, took a spin over and fell in love. The guy selling it was a true gent and I had a good feeling about him right away so trusted everything he said and it turned into a very easy buy. Rode it back home on a 5 hour trip. What a way to break the bike in. All's well that ends well.

Thank you all for your advice and experience, as always much appreciative to the community.

 

If you had of took it and then complained about the corrosion, dry chain etc. They would of probably said "well it was all in the photos, not a lot we can do about it"
