Alenander Reynolds Question

#1

Hey Guys, can you tell me about this. I am thinking of buying it. Seller indicates its a 1970 with a 1986 Briggs on it. Is this a cool piece. What are they worth. Thank you!

Cool is up to you. It's a clean bike, and for the right price, you could give it to a kid to thrash. Engine is a yawn, the seat is a Frijole repop, and the bars have been raised with butt welds. I'm not disparaging the build, just pointing out what jumps out at me. It's like someone tried to do a restoration, but didn't. Chain guard is home made, looks very functional. I bet it hauls ass and rides pretty nice. In today's grossly inflated economy it's probably "worth" $300. Sell the seat, and start looking for AR parts to put on it, then repaint it.

I can tell you it's worth Per-zac-a-ree what you're willing to give for it.
No values given per forum rules.
So you gotta ask yourself are willin to give asking price for it? Is it worth it to you.

I can tell you that's a way sharp lookin mini bike, me, I'd snag it in a heartbeat and ride it like i stole it! :scooter:

Good luck with your decision Sir. Hope that helps:)

My take is, I like to buy something that is close to being accurate for a 1970. If its a mish mash of wrong parts and modifications, I am not interested. The guy is asking $700.

If you’re considering spending $700 add a couple of more hundred to it and get something that is closer to original with the correct motor in it. I have an original unrestored MTD top of the line and paid $950 6-7 years ago and probably not worth much more today. Complete, original bikes are more but worth it versus hunting for and paying for the correct parts.

….remove the fork pivot bolt and put that shiny spring under the frame. It will ride much smoother.
Unintentionally amusing. As it is (assembled wrong), the handlebar height makes the lines of the bike like an ungainly giraffe. Guess the intent all along was to give it ape hangers.

*not knocking the build
