They're a slaughterhouse.  They have been known to brake up nice original dispatch correct Brit Bikes.  As Tony Soprano is fond of saying, "nothing personal, it's just business".

Hi All,
That's not worth spit *razz* *razz*
It's one of the dealer replacement frames as far as I can see in the pics viewed on my phone,, hollow swing arm spindle and sidecar mount also mean  its not RGS
With no frame serial number and a restamped crankcase it would be a very dodgy proposition to register for road use!!!

 I have dealt with this guy before, and yes he is dodgy. He is not that far away from me really.

 I love the "pattern" in the aluminum case around the restamp to try and mimic cast aluminum. Pretty poorly done and easily spotted.

Yes,  and its not even re-stamped with a RGS number!  How on earth can he claim this to be an RGS scrambler?  (which i believe don't have 2 pillion footrest hoops) Hmmm

That frame appears to have been in an accident, baed on the damage to one up-tube and the weld or braze at the headstock.

Do you think this was a chopper at some time that has had the headstock reset to standard rake? The text says; Has hwy peg mark in front down tubes

I read it as 'highway peg'. hence why I wonder if it's an ex chopper.

Maybe this "$", but not this "£".
