Sorry to hear your having difficulties. I contacted you a while ago and would love to buy the bike. You were a pleasure to deal with, sent me the pictures and pointed out any details, none of which I had any problems.
Trouble is, as we discussed at the time, I'm in Australia and whilst I can buy the bike and put it in a garage in the UK, I can't import to Australia due to very restrictive import regulations. Not much point having it sitting in the back of a garage half a world away.
At the moment I would need to wait around 12 years before I could bring it over as a 'classic'.
If anyone has any ideas or knows how I could get this bike over to Aus I'm all ears ( or eyes in this case).
Equally frustrated,
Jerry
