Hey!
So, I have a CAT B write off bike (frame is broken) and I was thinking of rebuilding, well building a new bike from the salvagable parts.
My plan, is to buy a frame from France (it has all papers) and build a new bike (will be same as factory, not custom or chopped) so when I am finished it will be an "original factory" model
I cannot seem to find any info regarding registering the frame, once i import it and get a new licence plate etc, I can only find info on importing an entire bike
Has anyone ever done this, or know of the process involved?
Many Thanks!!

The frame is the bike. You can't register a frame here so you'd be registering your bike as an import.
