What am I missing here?

Item 220130148250 - OK, so it's probably a genuine Montjuic and it's got
plenty of history but it's a resto jobbie and (reading carefully) it's
not even a runner.

Yet someone's paying 2 grand for *that*?

I love those bikes, having raced one many moons ago, mostly round Cadwell
Park. TBH I'd pay [1][2] £2k for one, but as you suggest, it'd have to be a
runner.

[1] If I had the disposable.
[2] If ICBA

Sure - it's a Classic. If you can't afford that, maybe you should be
looking at 250142746329.

Blimey, a 65 quid bike with a 1900 quid delivery charge...

Even bigger LOL ... just noticed it's in Doncaster, so I might pop along for
a looksee.

If anyone's 'really' interested I could take some detail photos etc.

This has been up for sale before. Nothing wrong with a decent 400N, nut even
one as clean as this shouldn't be in four figures.

Indeed - that was my first bike back after the usual late teens break from
biking, and it looked *exactly* like that one - except for the dent in the
tank where it toppled of the stand and fell on my dead Vauxhall Viva.

Recently married, living in a rented flat, set off one Saturday morning into
town, came out the other end having signed up for our first mortgage, and
finance on the 18 months old 400N which became our main transport for the next
few years.
