Prices on the island of Ireland always seem more variable, fewer main dealers means that newer bikes often are sold without full service history and older ones can suffer from a perceived dodgy reputation of the Irish horse traders. In my youth I bought a Sealey framed TD250 (see picture to left) from a well known Irish road racer, the bike worked and handled fine but when I had a huge accident on it, the frame turned out to be a copy made out of gas pipe and not T45 chrome moly tubing.
