Need to make room in the garage and put some cash in the bank to keep the better half in a good mood. Am selling the recently refurbished Moby Brick.

This bike has been restored by an experienced and conscientious K-bike rider and wrencher. This is the bike for somebody who wants to ride rather than wrench right from the start.

That’s a steal of a price. Good luck with sell!

Having to explain the replacement frame will probably scare off some buyers, but the bike is very solid. Not much action now, but that will change in a month or two when the weather gets warm and the snow melts.

nice work on the rebuild!
-
:2thumbup: Great rebuild, I bet it'll be snapped up when the weather clears. It wouldn't concern me with the replacement frame, new paint no rust what's to be concerned about?
Regards Martin.

I wish I lived closer [and had more $] looks very nice!

Is this still available? I have a K75S but am interested in the extra horse in the 100.
-
Yes, been slow action with all the crap weather this spring. Lot of resistance to the fact the frame was replaced. Lowering price to $2250 to forum members.

Catch me up on the frame replacement. Is it from another K100 or did you straiten a bent frame? How does it ride now? My current K75s has a Salvage title because of previous paint scrapes and having to be repainted. In NC now, anything over $350 charged to insurance gets a salvage title regardless of affects on mechanical or structural performance.

CL ad expired, did it sell?

You can catch yourself up by reading The Resurrection of Moby Brick (http://www.motobrick.com/index.php/topic,10661.0.html).

Regarding the title. Since(besides other damage) the frame was bent so that it couldn't be straightened, the insurance company totaled the Moby Brick because the frame carries the VIN. I then bought a frame from a stripped 1991 K100RS 4V with clean title and dealer bill of sale from Steele's Cycles in Colorado. The Colorado frame was in incredible condition, must have spent most of it's time in the desert Southwest. Since the BMW frame paint is so thin, I touched up the spots I know have rust problems with POR 15 paint for extra protection.
In New York, salvage is defined as requiring more than 75% of market value in parts to repair. Since I was rebuilding the Colorado bike with parts I had around with a few more off of eBay I was well under that amount. Last week, I took the paperwork to the DMV and applied for a clean New York title. I should have it in a week or two.
I let the Craig's list ad expire and will wait until I have the title in hand before reposting. Outside of the jerks from all over wanting to broker it, the two local guys who did come to look at it were spooked by the Colorado title. I have been watching and researching prices, and it looks like the actual value is around $2200 to $2500. Since I can't see having it take up space while I wait for my dream buyer, I'm pricing it for the market. Will post for $2500 on CL, Motobrickers for $2250.
PS: I had it out for a quick ride yesterday. It runs great, shifts smooth, tracks well, and doesn't shake. I did notice that there was a small amount of brake fluid in the cover over the front brake master cylinder. I had the same thing happen the last two years when I bled the brakes. For some reason it leaks when bleeding, but not when I'm riding. In any event, I am keeping a close eye on it.
