Is this MB5 a good deal?
« on: December 26, 2010, 05:52:12 PM »
I understand they are pretty collectible. Seems like it would be hard to go wrong with this bike at this price, no? If nothing else, do you all think I could make a decent profit parting it out?

Yes, grab it. Those are vintage raceable bikes.  A few here have them.

I'd grab it in a minute, but only if it had the title to be returnable to the street.  Good thing it's not near me, or you wouldn't have to make any decision...  I'd be in MY garage.  :D  Really great little bikes.  What Bryan said, but I wouldn't let that deter me.  Not impossible at all.  Lots of hot-rod stuff available.  But, I guess ya gotta kinda be into tiddlers...  :D
