If only we'd have known how things were going to turn out...

Good example DTRs typically hovered around the £1500 mark.

I'm trying to think what the values of those "field bikes" used to go for. Maybe around £400, so possible that a group put in £100 each. Even then I wouldn't be throwing £100 in a river.

But who knows 🤷

Remember 20 years ago you couldn't give them away. My guess it was was a tatty rough bike bought by a few teenagers for a few £ each. Rode around until piston/rings gave up and thrown in the canal instead of pushing it home.

I can’t believe it wasn’t reported stolen, no PNC stolen reported. Been underwater long enough for the spokes to dissolve! And I’d still take it on as a project!! What is wrong with me? 😳

I actually pulled an old dt50 out of the river Stour where I live, when I was about 10 years young. It was a white one with the peanut tank. 1970’s era. Dragged it home a mile uphill! Wish I could remember what I did with it...
