            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...

              @spookdog probably because it wasn't stolen. 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.

                @markus-w I'm not sure that's quite true. 20 years ago the DTR's would have only been 10 years old and still selling like hot cakes.

                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 🤷

                  @calum yeah agreed even in the current condition it's better than half the "field" bikes round my area

                    20 years ago in Nottingham reasonable road going DT's were selling for around the £500 mark and used spares etc were ten-a-penny with many being junked as they were unwanted (not by me I hasten to add!).

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