I was wondering if the snipers would appear...

Pics of packaging and bike in the box for Adam.

Not taking it out ever again now..

Photo in other thread was taken on day of posting, and I'm now fearful of taking it out of the box in case I drop it or snap something.

Jasper did you out bid me on the american one:mad:

Jasper,how much do you want for that old Bostrom that you've got lurking around?:D

Adam,American one? How what's that about,how much did that go for?

There was a Hodgy in the US for sale on eBay - auction ended last night. I think it went for around £170, with postage on top of that. I was bidding on it, but managed to source the one I've agreed to buy so I dipped out.

OK boys,don't get too excited,but i think i may have located a Bayliss 2000 & a Bostrom 2000!!!
I don't know how much they're going to come for or whether they are definatly available,the guy's going to check when he gets in!!
He's pretty certain that he's got them though!!
As you know,i've got the Bayliss so i don't need it,but i would be willing to purchase it & offer it to one of you guys,or maybe swop it(Jasper are you listening,that Bostrom & test bike sounds good to me)!!
As long as i end up with the Bostrom i don't really mind!!

Any thoughts?:cool:

Interesting stuff! How did you manage to track them down?

I've only recently really started to try to track the ones down that i've not got,but i've been collecting since 99,didn't realise just how many people were doing the same!! It's just alot of surfing & e-mailing!!

Trouble is everybody follows ebay & other such sites so they all know what money they're doing,so there's no bargains to be had anymore!!:sniff:

Nevermind,as long as it keeps me busy!!:lol:

Don't really know what to do about the ones i've tracked down,i don't think they'll cone cheap & i only really need the Bostrom,suppose i could buy them both & put the Bayliss on the bay to recover some of the purchase costs,if nobody on here wants to do some sort of deal!!

Adam may be up for the Bayliss? It's not something I'm after. Wouldn't mind a 2000 Fogarty though if the same seller has one?

I'll ask him mate,no problem!

Nice one :)
