Too Much/Rare To Ride

<< < (3/6) > >>

I'm confused. So some people build bikes just to look at ??? :shocked: :idiot2:

Someone's gonna have to run that past me again as I don't get it :2funny:  :LolLolLolLol:

Think of it like this Spen.....

The MRD Badlander has the perfect length Top Tube, beautifully welded to the headtube which is set at just the right angle to the floor, making the fork glide on it's urning axis to a near perfect turning circle, all while the BB height from the floor allows the crank arm to be hung at the right height for short legs. The seat mast angle allows for a straight post, which can be set at the height, allowing for perfect positioning of the seat, for when short legs get tired and one can ride with ones bottom firmly perched. The rear triangle gives the perfect flex for allowing one to perform 180 and 360 degree turns off the floor with short legs. All in all....

Perfect Geometry for short or tall people  :smitten:

Then there's the Raleigh Burner  :crazy2:   :idiot2:

I totally agree buddy  :daumenhoch:

I haven't ridden the Prostyler yet because I am loving the TA to be honest  :coolsmiley:

Every bike should be rode , that's why they're made ,  :smitten:
but the old tyres issue is valid because after all 30 year old rubber will not stand up to being ridden by 12 stone plus blokes at 40psi ,seen it happen the tyre wall just  gives up  :crazy2:

Id say main reason why you don't see as much NOS stuff now as 7 or 8 years ago is because it's no longer NOS and have since  had many owners and many who have used the parts on their bikes , pub riding , racing etc . Much more likely than a cult of hoarders keeping all the stuff from 2003 . I'd guess 90% of builders build bikes split and resell parts , than hoard forever
Although there are small minority of collectors who have stashes  :shocked:
