Allan's Bmx bikes? what you lot think?
Taipan:
Interesting views? I was shown this on the net by a friend who basically wanted to know was it worth the price? I know it has a lot of re issue parts (I'm not adverse to a re pop part myself btw ;) ) Compared to some of the bikes I've seen that they have listed this looks a damn site more in keeping with the era look,I said that should he want a bike built totally from old school parts and used at that? then it would cost a lot more to build and source...so his question is? Is the bike worth the asking price folks? :daumenhoch:

you can't put the parts aside, since they are what the asking price is paying for
it's not a bad looking bike, someone out there might like it enough to buy it
if they do buy it, I hope they are happy with it
personally I wouldn't, I'd rather buy original bits over a long period of time and restore bits as necessary

I mean't although it has re-issue parts is it as a whole with the parts fitted worth the asking price? ;)

fook that! I'll stick to my salty MTBs ;D

The bike high-lighted looks like the first couple of bikes I built; same parts list, same look. That was until I immersed myself in the scene, researched and found out that chasing the parts and restoring the parts is a whole lot of fun. The end result, when you get there, and that may take years, is so much more rewarding.
I am not knocking the Alan's bikes, not at all, I just do not think it has anything to do the my approach nor the approach of many here.
