Yes its our old mate from Eygpt, Mahommed. I still havent worked out his angle but to give him his due he does answer my very low offers prompt and politely.

['Original paint and rust, what a bargain']...


Surely you mean 'patina' Henk?...No need to repaint, just fit 'as is' for maximum authenticity... ...Ian

Shit, yes of course that's called patina and it would fit my bike perfectly and increase the value considerably.

Henk, I think that you've got the same shade of green as the oil tank already, so you'd need to repaint it or it will look as if it belongs there !

Can't have that

If anyone can confirm which planet this chaps from can they let the forum know.

Thanks in advance

He's on planet earth no problem.

If you look at his feedback he's been selling stuff Ok; note that its mostly marked best offer accepted, but it does not say what the offer was.

I recently offered him 25 quid for something he listed at 200, I got nice quick and polite response, to decline it.

I didnt particularly wan the item, a new G3 rear sprocket, but was interested in how he'd respond.
I reckon it was worth around 50 quid if I really wanted it.

I suspect the guy likes to haggle, its the old bazaar DNA I reckon, and I'd have bought it for a decent price.
So I'd say, as he is selling the stuff, haggle.
