Currently being led by netapps1 ?? Tim? Surely not?

Nah not tim tp, it's me, and I will not go over £16k ;);)

You don't work for Netapp as well Robin?

I think will need to see this bike in the flesh before I increase my latest bid.
Just in case it's a total heap, you can never tell from pics, it may have been thrashed and trashed more than a few times in it's history.

i think this is going to be a bit EXSPENSIVE, might be worth asking him what the reserve is.
I would of thought it would be around the £17500---£18000
He's going to want alot for the history
Have to wait and see

That's all assuming it's exactly what he says it is. I guess there are a few bikes around that have been raced, crashed and rebuilt so much that they bear little resembalance to the bike that "recer X" actually rode. I guess the four on Ebay might be "as ridden" by Haga and Haslam at the moment, but in 10 years, who knows what bits might have been changed.

Rgds, Rob

hi rob, one thing does bother me abit about this bike.
The subframe does not look correct for the bike.
all the pics and details i've checked, don't show an early or late corsa or similar bike with that much subframe showing where the exhaust bracket attach to the silencers.
looks like an early 851 subframe on a late frame.
fuel tank also looks to be incorrect for a 92 corsa bike, the fuel outlets were on the lower edge of the tank, not at an angle like these.
Possibly the bike has had some big repairs in the past, but surprised they did'nt put the correct subframe on it.

i could be totally wrong though.

The golden rule when buying ex-race bikes of some significane, is to only buy them from Parc-Ferme. If you don't then you simply get some facsimile thereof. So, Rob is quite correct.

spoken with a few people who know the bike, seems very unlikely that it's in original condition.
It used to be yellow at one time, and it's lost it's 60mm system aswell.
probably lots of other changes too.

Still a nice bike though, may have to reconsider it's value now.
