That's one of the funniest things I've read for quite a while.....

In 1980 my parents bought me a standard Mongoose BMX bike. Over a year or two, I washed enough cars to option it up a bit with the double gooseneck, alloy handle bars, rims, cranks etc, half flash mongoose. Another year or so, and several more car washes later, I bought a Redline MKII frame, and suddenly I had a Redline, with the same options as the previous heavily modified mongoose I had.

A good mate of mine recently has suffered kidney failure. He has been lucky enough to receive a younger healthy kidner from a female deceased organ donor. He's not a female all of a sudden, and he's not likely to be able to claim to be. He certainly isn't going to adopt a female name, even though having a bit of female "optioning".

Having said that, I reckon Myles is quite within his rights to be excited about his "Sandman", which I believe he is quite within his rights to call it, as long as he qualifies the description with the chassis details. What it's worth is what someone is willing to pay for it, and it sounds like that is irrelevant in this case, as he intends to keep it. Granted, plans do change, and it may be for sale one day, but it is what it is, a piece of Australian Motoring history, with it's own story to be told and heard.

You've done well mate, enjoy your restore and all the enjoyment you'll get during and after it.
