However, that pictured bike has some variations from the usual Dawn. It's still an interesting machine.
From what I can see, the grips, saddle, and tires are incorrect on this bike. It had a $500.00 price tag when I saw it on Tuesday. It was gone when I came back through late Wednesday so someone got it but who knows what they paid for it.
Hershey was pretty good for English bikes this year. I picked this up for $50.00 and sold it to a friend a little later in the day.
Bought this clean 1971 Twenty on Tuesday. It had lots of little things wrong with it but I got them all squared away.
I also picked up a ladies 1952 Sports with a complete chaincase. It had a damaged frame and fork so it's now a parts bike.
I saw an early DL-1 with a chaincase that had bad chrome but decent paint and all the goodies were in it including a serviceable B-73. Asking price was $250 early in the show.
