My A10 for sale soon...
« on: 29.02. 2012 18:25 »
Dear all,
I have decided the time has come to part with my A10.. Too many bikes and new project (a Velo MSS) means I need to reduce their number. After a lot of thought I've decided to let the A10 go.. I'm neither heavy nor strong , not getting any younger & the damn thing has very good compression - my singles are easier to start and move around..

It's not advertised yet & have yet to decide which route to go (mag ad, OBM, Ebay, Local ad etc).. I'm looking to recoover what it owes me, not in it for a profit.. Details via PM but I've uploaded some photos (sorry it's a bare unix site, no nice menus etc) :-

Suggest you lok at "General Pics", you may lose the will to live in some of the other directories  *eek*!!
Many thanks,

Adrian

Hi LJ,
Many thanks for your kind comments, I am very touched by them. Yes, it's always hard  to part with a bike & the A10 will be no exception. I guess it will be another victim of having weakened my back in my youth working on old cars!!
This is a great Forum with a real sense of community and I will continue to visit - after all , I still have the B33 which will have to become an "honoury A10" !

With very best wishes,

Thanks Andy..
I think it will be easier to let someone else enjoy the A10 !!

Everyone please note the web link in my first email does not work  - my (soon to be ex) ISP saw fit to simply delete without warning it as I went a few Mb over the limit. Apologies for any inconvenience caused.. I'll happily send photos to anyone interested...
