Hard , as its about value now , not what stuff cost when you bought it ?

cos my TA is worth a fair bit in parts , but the parts actually cost me a lot less than they would now

i paid 30 quid for some NOS hutch beartraps , so maybe mine is the cheapest LOL

Good one Rich, my T/A that came 2nd in the freestyle section at Epic cost less than £200 to build, and it has flights, NOS dx pedals ect, and my Blue sport has NOS 401`s nos DX pedals ect and still cost less than £300, ah those were the days  :) if I were to build those bikes now it would cost over £1000 each, and then there are my other bikes that I have stashed......

That's because you're buying cheap frame and fork sets - espescially Pete with those cheap and nasty GT's. Go and invest in some proper old school exotica  ;)  :LolLolLolLol:

Moose that cracked me up..... :LolLolLolLol:

Seriously though, I remember being told years ago that an early 84 performer fully built with redline cranks, tuffs etc would be worth over a grand then - what sort of price is an 84 performer f&f now?

The most exspensive bikes, loads - I know of a Haro Freestyler that has had nearly £2k put into it. There is Subs collection (just price some of the bars and hubs) plus a f&f and whatever else is needed that is some serious cash, and last and not least Mr JMC's collection - some high end and rare builds their too, which would fetch (and would have cost) a mint.

Another thing which has not seemed to happen yet, but if provinence was found for a bike - such as a Haro Sport Gen 1, an MRD that belonged to a certain factory ridder.........then the money would flow.
