Well another year has gone by and still no news either here or on PM. The OP was last seen in May 2021.

I want that bike to run again.

I don’t want to break it to you... but… I think it’s time to move on…!

I'm not good at that.

The story of the 74 Commando sitting for 9 years has reminded me of this poor bike.

Another year and still no news including on PM.

The bike is just a few noes from mine but half a world away and probably sent to the tip. I almost feel kind of responsible for it.

Yup.

RIP.

I was eager to find out if he found a cure for the wooden disc brake feel.

Another year gone by. I feel for this poor bike.

I guess it's time this thread was closed so I can't bleat about it every anniversary. Several late model Mk 2s have turned up on the site recently. This bike needs to return too.
