I want to build a cafe Racer from the ground up. Instead of trying to transform my Bonneville into a racer. I like my Bonnie and the way it looks and it is my commuter bike.
When I am done, I am hoping to have a sweet Thruxton.
My question for everyone is...... where can I get a good price on a Thruxton Frame, Engine and Transmission?
I have looked at a couple of salvaged bikes and some older bikes on auction sites and message boards. I don't want to spend $2k to $4k on a bike that I am going to strip down and not use a good portion of the parts. I know I can try to resell the parts, but I don't want to get into the business of parts redistribution. I just want to have fun and build.
Any input is greatly appreciated.
