1976 Penton 250 MC-5

Back on the market, former deal didn't work out

I am selling this rebuilt 250 MC-5.  I started out prepping this bike to go to Italy, but then the FIM came out with a notice that MX model bikes would not be allowed to enter the EVT race.  So, I put this bike aside and built a GS model for the race.  I put a couple of hours on the bike to be sure everything is working as it should, it runs strong, feels good.  It is ready to race MX or Cross Country or just to trail ride.  It's a 250 Penton, do I need to say more?  So, this is what has been done to the bike:
Steering bearings cleaned, and re-packed
Swing arm bearings cleaned and fresh oil
Swing arm has mounts for center stand
Wheels have new tires, tubes, and brake shoes, front and rear
New chain and sprockets
Motor bottom end has new bearings and seals. Top end new re-bore at 72mm with a new Wisco piston.
12-volt Motoplat ignition
New cables
Mikuni carb
New Magura 314 throttle
New Magura grips
Lights hooked up
New air filter
Forks; 35mm Marzocchi with new oil and double seals
Shocks; rebuilt Marzocchi with 12mm shafts
New fenders front and rear
Bark busters
Asking price $4,450
