Yes, it (the centre stand) reminds me of Nuttys. It's so worn down that the bike has both wheels on the ground when it's on the stand making it extremely unstable. The slightest push or gust of wind and over it goes.

Re: Cumbrian bargain cub
Hi,ive been to look at this bargain bike,it looks good until you get down to the nitty gritty,the rear inner mudguard is rotten and there is rot going on on the outer mudguard and shock mountings,What a shame!
The rear carrier is loose as is the plastic rear part of the mudguard.
The guy who owns it wasnt available untill tonight so i will bell him with a report of the condition of the bike and make him an offer,if i get it i will be looking for a second hand frame or have this frame repaired,my bike shop tells me,new, they are about £350 all ready painted.
The centre stand also has a problem,it has about an inch missing off the part that goes on the ground
I used my c90 for the trip,about 100 miles as i visited a mate who lives near Shap,he had just bought a Kawasaki 100 Champion of flea bay for £250,its a beut,a show bike and he said it goes as well as it looks,there are still some bargains to be had!
cheers,carry on cubbing
