I made nearly $180 for this set on Ebay back in 2008. No joke. Testors enamel was used in the cooling channels. If you do something similar, you might get a good bit of your money back:
Those twins are gorgeous. I'm looking forward to a thread comparing the two while pointing out the specific differences. I think it would be a 5-star rated thread (if we could still rate threads)! The previous owner must not have put many miles on that baby - she looks nearly brand-new and it's obviously original paint and decals. What a fine time machine.

Drillium - you are an artist. Wow!
I would imagine these bikes ride nothing at all alike. The weight is quite different - the angles and rear end are VERY different...
The workmanship is the same and the paint is pretty similar. I think the interesting comparison will be how this rides compared with the Raleigh Intl...and maybe the Koga. I hate comparing anything to the Koga as I am utterly in love with that bike. I'm going to throw a Brooks sprung saddle on it I think, I've wanted to use one since trying Scott's.
