It's starting to look more like a money pit to me .
I'm having second thoughts about going for it .

Mmm When you consider what price you can buy a good secondhand storm for. Basically the only good thing is the frame because of the rarity. The shocks are probably shagged and would need a good service anyway. Panels can be tarted up/repaired. It's a money pit to rebuild so all that's left is breaking it for parts.

It's a shame really as it's a bit of history. I suppose the life of that bike died with the engine. Like a captain going down with his ship.

You can have it mate, with out the other good bits its just a frame and shock, don't know what state the frame actually in either until inspected as its going to have been thrown down the track floor at speed a few times i would imagine.

all of the above ref the SPONDON frame is what ive thought .
It`s basically a frame and some bolt on goodies past there sell
by date ( all probably knackered and leaking ) .
As much as i want a spare frame , this isnt the one for me .
MARTY !! how much for yours :lol: ... though would prefer if it
had the original spondon swingarm , fully adjustable spondon yolks ,
spondon seat frame , spondon handlebars original sweet-sweet! engine
DYMAG wheels , race brakes , blah blah blah :lol:

YETI.. :lol:

You got the cans :thumbup: I don't think you will regret that. They sound real nice going by that video I found, and a good price too.

Also can polish up to a nice shine. :wink:
