nicola, why don't you see if you can get it at the price you want, put a deposit on it, then ask if you could pickup in a months time. alan

Hi Nicola,

Best of luck finding a CB77, I had the same problem last year and ended up shipping one over from the States as all the ones I found in the UK were tatty and expensive. They do seem to come up on ebay quite regularly so hopefully a good one will turn up at the right time for you! I didn't help myself by being determined to have a red one...

I'm also in Bristol some of the time (athough sadly the CB77 is down in Bournemouth area), nice to find another local lady who is into these old bikes! :)

Steph.

Hi Nicola,

There is definitely something cute and quirky about the red frame! It would be nice to meet up and talk bikes some time, send me a PM if you fancy it.

I can't remember where I first saw the CB77 but have wanted one for a few years, it's great to finally have one in the garage and definitely worth waiting for the right one to come along.

Good luck with your search, keep us updated :)

Steph.

Hi Steph

I Like the sweetness of the red frames esp on the CB77 and CL77

Even Mr Jim Morrison owned one and they used them in Grease 2

I'm going daft trying to find a Pair and thats with out wanting a Red Suzuki Beacat and Know guys who can Import to the UK from Ohio so it sucks but one must wait

I shall pm you once I get one we can both get a ride together or get a UK Meet going lol and film it
