I don't usually pay anywhere near that for a roller but this one does at least have the usually missing driven converter/jackshaft.
Comes down to how much you Need it rather than want it.
I have one of these minus wheels in the back yard as yard art and a guy stopped here Thursday and wanted to know if it could be for sale.
Told him the truth, it is my wife's
Good to meet another new convert to vintage mini bikes and we exchanged phone #'s.
Think I may have a roller for him in the second floor of the barn plus have a few other bikes that will be going bye bye so we will probably be doing some business soon.

You are crazy!!!!..... But we are all in the same Train with that Rabbit!!
I wouldn't drive for that unless it had hard to find parts I needed. I would rather spend the 300 on parts to finish a bike.
Now, I would understand if you lived in an area that ANY mini bike is rare to find locally.... If it's a bike you would drive most anywhere to get then go for it.

Depends on your stage of the illness. I was in stage 4 at one point and went from LA Cal. to Walla Walla Washington on Christmas day for these.
I'm happy I did it today. One running two waiting until I get them to the ranch.

I bought my Rupp Roadster 2 roller with front fender for $100 dollars in 2017. It was minus the gas tank but usually you can find them on ebay.. I decided to replaced the rear driven with a modern 20 series steel TAV instead of trying to use the original Rupp driven which uses the now defunct Rupp 5/8 inch wide belt instead of the 20 series standard 3/4 inch rear driven which are readily available. I also replaced the front fork with a hydraulic Suzuki k10 fork and front chrome fender from a K11. It is much heavier and has 5 full inches of suspension travel then the stock Rupp springer fork. A bit expensive but maybe you could try and haggle him down.
I paid 350 bucks for a hustler 10 years ago....but it off my buddies wife and it was hers when she was a kid....I also way over paid for a superbroc that I wonder if ill ever get to. seems for me at least, they all cant be the best deal but if I like it enough ill do a "less of a deal" just to get it. the superbroc will still be a bad ass bike but I did start in the hole so to speak.
....PS did you get it yet???
