"In the absence of a test ride, it’s at least easy to agree with the owner about the bike’s cool attitude and great looks. If it’s also reasonably pleasant to ride, that’s of course a big extra plus."

Description

The current owner bought the bike through a classified ad, purely from a somewhat vain decorative perspective, simply because he thought it was ‘so damn good-looking.’ Consequently, he hasn’t ridden the bike much either—possibly ‘a maximum of 1 kilometer,’ according to his own estimate. The builder is Starholk, alias Peter Ojanperä. The most recent—and last approved—inspection was carried out on 2022-05-27.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The engine was not started during the documentation, as the new battery had not been installed, but there is a video showing the bike being ridden before it was put into storage. The brakes at least feel responsive, good, and distinct when rolling the bike.

  • Exterior condition

    Clean, well-executed, and tasteful in its appearance. The builder has pursued a stripped-down idea combined with a classic expression. Firestone bias-ply tires are part of the concept and are really best suited for riding straight ahead.

  • General condition

    Stripped-down and stylish, with a heavy late-1970s chassis in a nicely rebuilt condition.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
