Re:

Relatively speaking there have been quite a few early Cinder Cones up for sale of late so perhaps supply has been meeting demand. I'd recommend some more pics including close ups. Offering to post the bike will help immensely too. You're in the upper price bracket I would say but if it's a nice example then maybe not a million miles off.

Thank you for the help raidan73. I shall instigate the changes and re-post.

By the way its good to see the Overburys Pioneer, i can remember them being about when i got my kona. the shop was just off the bottom of the M32 and i used to go past and drool at the windows at the magic within... The frame has some nice touches, ahead of its time, and the brazing is sweet. Bt the way, the grub screws through a thread is quite common engineering practice to stop threads coming undone- or loctite...

You can just edit your original post George

Re the Overbury's, you reminded me that I hadn't updated that thread in a while. It was recently sold to another forum member who is currently working on the refurb, but not before finding a replacement. I'll update the thread now with some pics of the new (ish) arrival.

Have a free bump for your for sale thread
