You know that 550 I bought a bit since?

Well, I've been buying stuff for it and even made a start stripping bits off ready for when I hopefully have more time (this winter) to get on with the rebuild. Well, I realised that quite a lot of the parts are bloody expensive - especially for one who hails from God's County), so I got to thinking how I could make it easier on the pocket to do the biz.
Then I had a BRILLIANT idea - I'll buy a complete bike and use that.
Eh? Ace or what?
It had to have a 4ls front brake, of course, and as many other useable bits as poss. That should be cheap then seeing as the brake alone tends to go for over £400.
Well, I just finished bidding on eblob and won THIS (clicky).
That's right, not one but two. So 39 years after originally owning a 550, now I've got three!

Just one thing - I go on hols on Saturday evening and I have to pick it up from Essex before I go away.
And there's another thing - so that's two really - how do I tell Lynn?

Oh dear, I may be in bother!!!!
