Would YOU Cut It ?

Bill saw this at a jumble yesterday, £2,900 looks like a good price from what's shown here, all complete but the moral question here is, if it's a matching number bike would you still customise it?

  3. Been debating this with a Shovel I have. I've come to the conclusion I will not alter the frame in any way that I cannot take the bike back to its stock configuration. But hey that is just me.

  4. Depends what bit You want to cut ha ha! Sell the shiny bits to a resto nut, dont chop the frame. make a custom that can be restored in the future if need be.

  6. I'd chop anything up regardless of age, rarity
    or what ever, but i hate anything standard so i would'nt have to be the one to restore it. Get the grinder out!!!.
