I bet this bike was for sale as a whole for awhile and the seller passive aggressively threatened:

"If not sold by this weekend, will part it out on ebay!"

To be fair, it should be mentioned the shipping is free..  Sellers name is...  "Junkboy66"

Sorry, I've actually done some SCUBA diving on 18th century wrecks, and those Wrecks would throw up to have something like that near them.  ROFL

Maybe the seller actually did a "distressing" on it to make it look that way??????  :)))

Clearly the PO used the wrong oil.

With any luck at all, the all desirable matching air cleaner will show up soon, too!

If that you mean it was encased a foot deep in beach sand until it was discovered with a metal detector then yeah, I guess so.  ::) ;)
