What do you do when you're restoring an old bike?

    Buy a second one, of course.

    I want to get to grips with the project TS250 before the end of the
    summer, and in the past I've found that having a second bike, as a donor
    and for showing you what bolts onto where and how when you're
    reassembling the thing and have forgotten to photograph the vital bits
    (ahem), is a Good Thing.

    So I've bought this:

    Doesn't seem a bad buy for £510. Might have some nicer components than I
    have already on mine, which can be swapped over, and when the project is
    finished, I'll simply re-sell it.

    Very true. Hopefully one that in the end has a different set of faults
    and/or desirable upgraded parts.
