I just need to add tuppence to this...To see this kids face on the bus with the Lasers is classic...and whatever he gets for the frames, is well deserved.
Those that have started the the hate campaign already...'paid nothing, transported badly'...'wouldn't buy from a russian'....fucking hell, please stop whining, WTF? most of us don't give a fuck that you are so down about it, if it was you what difference would it be?
I once scored a 1961 mini cooper that had been sitting in a garage for 28 years and came with a shed full of super rare spares ...for £600...I sold the pristine works H4 carbs for that, and nearly the same for a set of magnesium minilites...I had the same face as the kid in the laser photo, and was nearly the same age....21...then wow...last year...the mini cooper loaded with super rare spares and a 5k engine-100bhp motor, that I had spent nearly a thousand hours restoring and I had owned since 15...was fucking stolen...
Whatevers...
He got the Lasers, he also got the Rossin...at the moment 'the kid' is on fire and he can feel the pull of rare steel whenever he walks past an old building...you focus on something and it appears, you desire old bikes...they appear...
Lets show him some love...and thank him for dragging these into the sunlight, and them not ending up getting sold for weight on the back of a flatbed destined to end up as a recycled steel ingot...?
It will end up being ridden and built and Enjoyed which is the main thing...
