What's a gen 2 build likely to cost?
dubber:
Hi all after being away from here for about 8 years I was looking for an 85 sport which was one of the frames I never got round too sourcing all those years ago while looking for one I've been offered an 83 gen 2 F&F for around £1250 it's been sat in a room for 15years I've not seen its condition yet but if it is ok and I can get the funds to buy it what do you think the build is gonna cost me, I would like to make it as factory spec as possible but I've not got an endless pocket so not sure it's viable for me..I've been looking at prices and I'm honestly shocked at what I'm seeing....
Cheers,Paul

Let's just say any build these days ain't gonna be cheap .. Used parts are cheaper than mint of course but cranks could be £350-£500, seats range from £100 upwards .. Brakes £150... Etc, Etc
If you really want to do it be patient and take your time ... Wait and get things for as little as you can .. My last build took me 18 months to complete..
It's the journey for many of us that makes this hobby what it is ..
That's a big price on the f and fs .. ( be sure to check for cracks)
I'm sure I just saw an original chrome 85 Sport for sale on FB .. A lot cheaper and 85 parts are a little easier to source
Whatever you choose there are plenty of people on here to help you out :daumenhoch:

Yer I thought it was a bit steep for the F&F it would be straight and no cracks, I've known the bloke ages and see him twice a week so I'm sure it would be fine.
I think your right though the cost is gonna be high I'll probably trying to find the blue 85 sport as that's what I really want..cheers

£1250 seems rich, as not a lot is shifting, it's definately a buyers market, I've seen quite a few sub a grand far sets out there
