This bike was on the bay recently wasn't it? As a project in the Staffordshire region.

It was on e-bay recently. I bought it from a chap in Leicester (it wasn't advertised as a project and has a full test but its a bit in need of some TLC, as although perfectly useable, it might become a bit of a project over the winter :-)

I asked seller for the reg at the time of listing so as soon as I saw the pic of Stinkwheel's bike I knew that was it.

Ah, fair enough. It's a great little bike, don't think I paid over the odds and it runs very well, just needs a few jobs finished off or tidied up, basis of a nice bike, I hope :-)

Hi Stinkwheel, I didn't suggest you paid over the odds or that it didn't run well, I merely said it was on ebay as a project in Staffs and it was.
Can only assume you bought it from the guy in Leicester who finished the project off.

Oh absolutely, that's very obviously the case, I didn't mean to sound indignant or anything. I'm a fairly to the point sort of person, interesting to see this and see a bit of where it's been, I think I've had the best of it so far of last two owners :-)

No you didn't sound ignorant.....not at all.....sorry if I did. I was seriously considering taking a look as it wasn't far from me - I asked for more info to check it out a bit more but my situation changed - that's the only reason I knew your reg when I saw it. Enjoy it....liking the period seat as well.

Period seat is actually surprisingly comfortable ? Who expected that with 'sport' written on it !!

So wheels, is the fact I have a silver front wheel and a black back wheel relevant to anything?

Reverse Comstars are finished with black spokes and maybe he was trying for an updated look ? , always thought it must be hard to access the inside edges of the spokes - are they covered ok ?
