ok who wants to loan me 2500 bucks?

[cafe750]

I looked at that the night before last...'fore anyone had bid on it...the opening bid was $100.00...

[seaweb11]

So, if I hurry up and finish the Tracy I could start on this?

Wife was looking over my shoulder and said do you want it? I said not really,.............. she sat down again.

How do you get a tank and seat so smooth to be able to nickel plate it? Do they use lead instead of bondo? Were they hand made or punched out on a die?

[Tim2005]

It's only the frame etc that's nickel plated, the tank & seat are polished aluminium. The tanks were hand made, not sure about that seat (most probably handmade though) as I've never seen one of those before. It is a very early bike, actually the 2nd Seeley Honda ever made.

Lets all guess what it will sell for.

I'm thinking it could go for 6g no more that 7g tops.

[KB02]

With 3 days left, it's up to $2850.

I was telling my wife about it:
"So there's this frame on ebay for the Honda I'm working on..."
"No."
"But its...''
"No."
 

I don't think it'll get up to 6. Definitely into the 4's, though.

[DarkRider]

DOH!! now if only i had the cash....

[Gregorymoto]

If i had the cash i would pay 6g for it, time will tell. I never thought a KO would ever sell for 15g and i saw that.

[Andoo]

I guess my high bid of 800$ didn't cut it! haha

[Gregorymoto]

Hay man you got to try, right

[tinyrobot]

This is back up with same picks and new seller/local.  Either the winning buyer doesn't want it or it might be a scam.

[Gregorymoto]

Ya that is odd

[rugger81]

Given the zero feedback, and the request to be emailed before bidding, I'd say it's a scam

[squirley]

The new buyer put up a post in dotheton or caferacer that he was building it up...? Maybe things changed, but that ebay add looks very shady.

Over at www.dotheton.com Steverino has started a thread about this Seeley Honda project.   He was the winner of the original auction mentioned here.

I posted in his thread http://dotheton.com/index.php?topic=3680.0 asking if he was abandoning the project.

We'll see what's up...

I love a good story.
