Ducati

I have seen a 17" Ducati Corse HT frame with Fox Float FL 100mm forks (2008) in mint condition going for a £400 in local paper.

It looks like the bargain of the century, the frame is in excellent condition and is 2 years old with disc mounts etc.

I am sorely tempted to buy and build up with good spec.

Anyone know of these bikes? Are they any good? etc.

Tforks alone are worth at least £250.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Corse is Ducati's racing division. I believe Bianchi manufactured two off road models with/for Ducati called the Scrambler and the Monster with a few different versions of each - HT/FS, varrying spec, etc.

All of them were equipped with pretty decent spec - Deore/SLX or higher (i'm pretty sure anyway) although I don't remember seeing any come with Fox forks so these may have been added afterwards, but that is no bad thing. As you said, the fork isn't cheap so as long as the frame is in good nick you could be on to a winner.

Yeah the fork is just an extra that the guy is selling with the frame.

Looks in very good condtion in bright red with white ducati graphics. Gotta say it looks very slick. Nice to have something that no-one else will have. Think I am gonna have to take the plunge!

WIll post pics of final build.
