the rear being the 'drive' wheel and a narrow front gives quicker handling.

Agreed. I always favoured the tractor configuration if it wasn’t a matching set of tyres.
Don’t think I’ve ever gone with a wider front.

I've never finished an Amp build I've started. Had various through my hands, starting with a mongoose amplifier, a few b3s, a b5 (so regret selling that), a b4 and a litespeed obed FS.

I still have the last 2, so I may actually do them one day.

Would you have any interest in this Mercedes\Amp B5?

I have restored and sold bikes for years as part of the hobby. My goal is always to make a small profit to keep it going. Over the past 9 months I can't move anything. I have 3 complete projects that are listed for sale. One more that needs to be built. No one is interested anymore.

Seems to be the economy\market now. I guess the world is in a recession.
Hopefully it will pick up again sometime soon.

(Side note, seems no limit to wealthy people buying brank new $4000-$15000 bikes though)
