yours i presume!


gordonmcmorran - 24/10/12 at 06:35 PM

no not mine,just found it on auction site,thought i would share.


blakep82 - 24/10/12 at 06:39 PM

bit different for a first post...
its not a bargain til we see what the price finishes at in a day and a half really. might finish up at £30k, which certainly wouldn't be a bargain, and we don't know what the reserve is either, might be 50k, which again, not a bargain....
as it stands just now, its a bike, on an auction site


gordonmcmorran - 24/10/12 at 06:56 PM

sorry, just thought i would share,as i thought someone on here may be interested.


p.s. blakep82

what price would you consider this to go to before it is no longer a bargain.

Yeah, chill blakep82.

It would be a bargain at £3000 with those miles on it.

Maybe if you'd put potential bargain bike, it wouldn't have gotten Blakes back up

Would be a good bargain if it could be had for £3K. If I was bidding, I'd go £2.5K.........

Maybe if your first post was'nt to an external for sale too?
If its all been taken wrongly and you'll be sticking around then welcome aboard we are a very friendly bunch.
What are you going to build?


gordonmcmorran - 25/10/12 at 01:41 PM

undecided what i would like to build,i realy liked the idea of an indy with bike engine,but since finding this site and looking and reading a lot on here,has confused me even more.

i,am a mechanical engineer by profession,have been mucking about with cars and bikes for last 30 years always wanted to build a kit from scratch.

wanting to build lotus 7 type replica,if you had 10k which one would you build.

(sure its been asked plenty before)


ReMan - 25/10/12 at 04:21 PM

Cue the biased answers from the fanboys
I did the MK indy Bike engine, it was and still is a good value and robust base
Would I do it again, no.
I'd chose one of the others and it would not be Tiger, Luego, or Robin Hood (or whatever they are now (no justified reasons other than personal choice
Would it be another bike engine, probably, they are fantastic but a bigger one like in your advert

Next
