Holy hell!

this guy is somewhat local, ive met him a few times. always selling. ive never dealt with him but i agree, this was probably a helene flood bike.

I agree.  He's local to me, but I've never bought from him.  I think he buys bikes and parts them out.  His prices usually feel a bit steep to me.

looks really clean, but that screen is another level of ugly. Where do people even find things like that?

Yeah, that thing is hideous.

I agree with a lot of what y'all said.  Looks fat and melted. 

Nice, it looks great!

that rd is a legit vesco bike, period aftetmarket rims etc. .it was actuality owned by don vesco, theres paperwork etc.  its restored but a absolute timecapsule.

 

HOWEVER, WHERE did those cool wheels come from on the yellow RD from PA?

Yeah, we need more pics of that one.

Awesome!  I'm sure many of us will be living vicariously through the pictures.  I can't wait for the CycleDrag video of the meet.

I love it!  And as a bonus, it's going from a 4 stroke to a 2 stroke.  Should be tons of fun.

Yeah, it's definitely AI.  I saw basically the same video a few days ago about restoring classic cars.  It's interesting for sure.  I wish they had used different visuals though.

Oh dear lord.  It just looks like just about every other retro custom jobber from about 2015 to me.  I guess there's no accounting for taste.

You have to be a member to access it?  If not, you could look on the Internet Archive for backups of it.

It was even difficult.  For those wanting something more than spray cans, this appears to be a good option.  It's based on the '85 RZ350 yellow.  They do specify that this is for an entire application and not meant to use as a blend for existing panels.  I'll be doing my RD400 in this.

Damn, man.  That's awful to hear.  His family will be in my prayers.

Yeah, I saw that one the other day.  Could definitely be fixed up properly, but not for his asking price.  At least not by me.
