Cool Thread,
My feeling is that it is a reflection of the climate in the UK right now mixed with uncertainty of wether it is going to get worse...i think it will.
The bikes that have been on here recently the quad,the VDC and the gen1 are class and think the price is also a reflection on the work that goes into the project
from matching the parts to actually finding and assembling them which is an art in my eyes.
I was so tempted with your gen1 but in a couple of months have bought a full NOS TA and gen2 frameset off Dom yesterday and to spend another 2k on the gen1 then add that to the parts I need for the gen2(approx £7-800)I just though hold fire and focus on a build (my 1st) or I could be selling big issues by xmas.
BIG ISSUE !! :D
brass monkey!:
Some stuff is still going for TOP Dollar, these are 1/2" too !!

I don't think the Bubble has burst just yet, it's a bad time of year,...ie: MK Has just finished, People are paying for/Paid for their Holidays, and Christmas is looming near, plus we are coming out a bad economic crisis (I think the country's credit crunch issues will improve over the next year, Oil prices have reduced, rumours are now strong that ave price will move down to $100-$110 a barrel in 09, so that will start to impact on the economy and how much disposable income you have), and it's all about disposable income at the end of the day for most of us, personally I can afford to keep the bikes I have at the moment, but I will now only sell to buy, I'm not tying up any more cash - I want to get a new car anyway soon, and we want a decent foreign holiday next year.
Back to the main topic, the prices peak and fall during the year, but I think they will still increase Y-O-Y, now's a good time to buy if you have the spare cash. Personally I love Pete's Quad, even though someone said he's built it like 'a GT' !! LOL !! No cash to spend though...., as is Christmas - I bought a pair of mint Unstamped LG's just before the end of last year for £65 ! You don't see that often....
Yeah, I also agree with the others, building the bike is the buzz, although buying a complete bike can save money by parting it out and keeping the best bits etc...
Swivel:
I agree with you Matt, I do think things are on the up overall, and 2009 should kick start this buying/selling lark again as everyone will be planning for MK 09! :D
Jt:
split and they will sell.
i'd have no problem buying a full bike at whatever price, if i wanted it, but most like to build there own.
i do.
i dont understand why no one bought my VDC though, as obviously its the best one ever done, miles better than that other shit in the museum.
fook it...
i'm so fooking great it doesnt matter :D
