Most desirable? Survivor or restored...........
kungfunky:
For me, I don't put any parts on a bike older than the frame set. A couple of years before would be ok but not later IMO :daumenhoch:

i like to see a survivor with the old school bikes.
both my keeper bikes are rusty ole heaps but i love em :smitten:
done the mint show bike thing with just bolting nos parts on in the past but does nothing for me now :-\.
the 70's bikes dont really bother me neither tbh.
i was riding a chopper or a racer with a set of cow horn bars on around that time.
never seen a bmx till early 80's.

I must be a weirdo, it would niggle the shit out of me if a decent early bike had the main organs (crank, forks etc) from another year.
Even if it was just a year out.
But on a 80's bike, I'd be fine with it.
Not sure why?
Maybe it's because I see the real early vintage 70's as collectables and the bikes I actually rode as a kid, more for fun.

Scars could have been caused recently...

you can tell a original compare to a new show bike ie scars as have one here that was repainted and has marks but look new ,i love original bikes and would love to find more original trickstars as only have 2 in original colours but sadly nearly every trickstar i see has been repainted ,some i understand as paint gone or repainted in wrong colours .

Really ????? Bitd it was all about moving forward, a new part came out and you had to have it, can't remember thinking I must get a 2year old part and put it on my new frame
