Title: ** sold ** Good condition sinclair c5 for sale in Reigate
Post by: Jonny on 21, March, 2012 - 20:59:37
hi, selling my c5. i overhauled it last febuary, everything still in good working order. scratched in the usual places (front nose, wheel caps) a few deep scratches. still uses original battery, but you'd probably want to get a new one. Selling because i don't use it much because i live in a hilly area also my closest mcdonalds drive thru won't serve me. Just ask any questions, pictures upon request also. Here is what i have done to it:



Chassis de rusted, sanded and painted black.

Rear chassis "hoop" sandedand repainted black

Front forks sanded and repainted

Motor and gearbox assembly dismantled, cleaned and re-greased. Has white fingers.

New  extra wide drive belt

New decals on the wheel trims

Replacement inner tubes (all three wheels)

New schwable tires on all wheels (old tyres included)

Front wheel bearings re-greased

Front fork assembly re-greased

Handlebar stem bearings re-greased

Still has original wiring (2 keys and c5 alive keyrings included)

has hi vis mast (slightly bent) and original tool kit (with all tools including pedal puller)

Needs new side stripes. electronics are fully working. original c5 battery charger included but not working.




Selling for a snip at £275, cash on collection from Reigate (surrey). Any questions email me: Jonnyadam97@gmail.com

You could always hang on to it until the Brooklands event and sell it there...that way you get to take it around the track again and get another summers use out of it  8)

Might have to bring it on the Crawley run, though I'm a bit worried about how long the original battery will last.

Only if you were closer,,,,  i would try and convince you to sell it to me for that price  ;D ...... As I am a fair few miles up in the lovely country I would say keep it.... sleep on it and decide in a months time ......... when I will be down that neck of the woods.
