if he has the same pride in his bike care as he has for the outside of his house, I wouldn't go near it

Unless you're just going to buy it for a project I wouldn't bother, all sounds and looks a bit dodgy to me.
Nobody in the right mind would claim against the insurance company if an SP1 or 2 just fell over, they'd just repair it themselves.

He's booked in for the Dungeon next Friday. For hygiene reasons he has to bring his own gimp mask however I make him rent the ropes & clamps.

This was on eBay a few weeks ago and I’m sure non of this was mentioned then pretty sure it was a different story about moving house or something along them lines

You are absolutely right. It was on eBay and the damage was not mentioned at all. The photo showing damage wasn't on the ad either. Anyway I watched it and I believe it sold for 3300 week before last.
Roll on a few days and it is back up. It ended at 3k unsold day before yesterday I think and is back up again with no reserve at 3k so 3k obviously takes it.

I have obviously paid attention to it over the last few weeks. But would I buy it if I had 3k? F@#$ing right I would. Had a good look at the parts needed if you wanted it to be right and they are not that expensive. Yes you would probably be waiting a while on some but you would have a hell of a bike in the end. I see tatty track sp1s go for more on occasion so has to be a good buy...even if a tad dodgy 😂
If you don't try you never know if you can do it.

I was so tempted to bid on it but I’m sceptical about most ads on eBay and something about it put me off.
