I'd have one
Swivel:
Well Rob we all see the one on the bay, went for nearly a grand! :4_17_5:
I think personally i'd have one of these and then strip the damn thing and turn it into a mini replica of the original but its all down to cost. Wouldn't surprise me if this starts at £250 with basic components and then goes up from there. Shame that they didn't do a closer more accurate replica of the original bike though with a modern twist :(

Gen 1 F+F went for £980 lastnight on the bay!
Nice

I know what your saying I just can't see the point of retro looking bikes or reissuing new versions of oldschool bikes like that Mongoose a few years ago what a waste of time that was you could have bought a real one for that money.
Just my thoughts that's all. And why would anyone want to pay £980 for a Gen 1 Frame and Forks anyway. The phrase a fool and his money are easily parted comes to mind. Well done to the seller though ;)
Now hit me with the abuse :knuppel2:

Seeing how much things are going for recently i.e. hutch grips for $700+, I'd certainly have an original Gen 1 frame for £980 over any stupid grips any day. I guess it's down to preference really. £980 was a good price for a good cause and the new owner of the Gen 1 will feel priverliged (I hope) as there isn't many of them around on this planet and his now the owner of one.... :)
