They still make those, so parts shouldn't be too hard to find. It's another seller with his head in the clouds.

I texted that guy a couple of nights ago. He said make an offer, but scoffed at my $200 offer. He wants at least $600 for it. The engine is seized up. Of course, when I passed on it, he started texting me pictures of complete, good condition survivors on Ebay that are going for $1500+. I pointed out those run and are ready to ride... he never responded. It would cost a lot to rebuild that engine and get that bike going. Otherwise, I would be all over it.

Actually I think this is a pre rokon trailbreaker. It has the gold westbend branded 820. It looks like it may be a 62 or 63 which makes it pretty rare. Rokon bought the rights to the nethercut trailbreaker in 1964. If I was closer I'd buy it.

I believe the guys on Pawn Stars bought one of these and had it restored a couple years ago. They said it would climb tree but was super slow.
