Thanks Mezo. I think you're right, time to walk away. The repair (or whatever it is), is just not very confidence inspiring and who knows what else the repair is hiding. Found what looks like a much better condition bike up in Tenterfield (and its cheaper). Just trying to work out how to get it to Canberra.
Jens, I initially thought the same thing about something being welded on to the front of the tube. But your right, noting the quality of the welds, it seems unlikely.
I was tempted to not 'judge a book by its cover', but I don't really have the equipment to do major repairs in the event I get in over my head. Plus I currently have a 1972 Honda CL350 in parts, and really don't need another project haha!
