It's Jason's fault! He dangled photos of the HUP's naked frame in front of me, and that was it.
The HUP frame has some damage, but nothing that can't be repaired. Drive train and engine are intact (functioning? - not known yet). The four rims "look" to be in good nick, but time will tell. The frame also has a lot of the add-ons that are becoming increasingly rare in these parts. There is some sheet metal, but it has seen better days. So the HUP frame was a good buy in my estimate.
The other frame is a POS with only the two axles and some of the add-ons, making it somewhat worthwhile. There is potential for the frame and the other parts will go up for sale or be used as spares. The second frame (C15) came as part of the package deal worked out between Mr. Cote and myself. They are even going to load the trailer for us - on a Saturday no less!
The weather in Montreal was the shits. They have a lot more snow down than we do in Ottawa. I went through two jugs of windshield washer fluid on this trip due to the excessive slush on the roads and the resulting saltspray.
Not a bad recce - now I have to tell the wife about the latest acquisition...more on the the trip later.
