Okay... I am shamed. It is a LARGE 856.

The asking price is $150 plus shipping.

I'm not inclined to ship overseas, but might be able to work it out.

Thanks Orange,

I've been after one of these for a good while - saw your post on here & retrobike - would not have seen it otherwise, so much appreciated.

Now what is it & where did the original forks go?

I did, yes - just got to pick it up now - really looking forward to seeing it, just not the 500 mile round trip to get it.

You lucky dog. Are you going to restore it to is original spec? Personally I like the graphics of the OzM. The frames are identical. A guy named gilm on the Retrobike forum does decals.

That disk brake adapter sparks my interest. The button retainers just scream cool. I am also interested what the swingarm pivot looks like inside. The rear shock adapter is something I have only seen once.

Good find!

Thanks Terry,

I'm going to take it steady & get to know it first - it's got some really good kit on it to start with. If you want any detailed photos I'm happy to take them & email to you.

I'm a lucky dog that orange spotted & posted it, I would never have seen it otherwise!

Thanks,
Craig

I use parcel2go.com - the seller will probably need to package it up though, which may put them off doing it ::)

another good one is senditnow.co.uk
