Looking at his other listings he's a breaker.
Presumably he constructed this abomination from the parts he couldn't give away.......
Let's all send him messages sounding fascinated and deeply interested, asking technical details of the build, and whether it has featured in any hipster magazines as yet ...

It's not his tho Tony...Clearly states that in the add...All quetions to his mates mobile number...

Anyway you philistine you know nothing, It's easy worth the 2k as it's says it's a bobber in the title...

Be worth more if it had a brown seat...Then again the potential new owner may well give it a brown seat himself, first time he gets anywhere near a corner with those tyres...

Burn it...Burn it with fire !

Unfortunately that style of bike is in fashion now, don't you guys keep up with fashion :lol: Not my fashion I hasn't to add.
I can't see anything wrong with it myself, apart from the front wheel :wink: I have never been a fan of those pressed steel spokes,

Chris.

As Chris says, that sort of horror seems to be fashionable - loads on Instagram - some really good classic Beemers have been butchered. Crap tyres, no mudguards, plank for a seat - cool? Nah.

That looks like the front wheel/disc and caliper from a 250 Superdream!?

No no no no (said in the voice of Jim Trott :wink: ) :) you're missing the point Mac, it's not an upgrade it's a style/fashion/look.
Sadly fashion has no relevance to practicality, although I would imagine that a single disc will be good enough with the speed you'll be going on those knobbly tyres :)

Chris.

I feel it's a shame when people do that to good bikes.

I will always support 'each to his/her own' but this is like treating a stunning wife to a makeover and seeing her come home looking like a love child of the Honourable Theresa May and Russell Brand. :roll:
