Then it was just a case of finding a bike I liked.
Wasn’t sure whether to go for a basket case type project and hopefully be able to add value to it or get something that was ready to go. I think I’ve ended up (slightly unwittingly) with something in the middle, more on that in a mo.
I thought something that was too much of a project could just end up being a money pit so concentrated on bikes that were in running order.
Ended up finding this 1955 Matchless that included delivery for the asking price but like a mug I offered £500 under the asking price on the condition that I could pick it up.
It was only 150 miles back from where I’d collect it at Windermere so hoped it’d be alright.
