Hi lads. An old school friend of mine has a changa.
It needs restoration but it's all there. I'd love it but can't afford it. I would offer him a sly £100 but think he has an idea it's worth a little more poss from me. Lol stupid boy.
So it's a changa with forks and VDC bars with a set of arayas on red suize hubs I think.
The frames in need of restoration.
What is it worth and who is interested if anyone???
We are in Dorset.
Cheers lads!

bodamus may still be after one.... :daumenhoch:
-
Difficult to call without some good photos as VDC's have very thin tubing so any rust might need some very careful restoration.
Either ways I guess a good one with bars should fetch at the moment £800+
-
I am very interested PM'd you :daumenhoch:

There you go lads.
Sorry it's taken a while. I've not been in a wifi zone for an age.
I've mentioned your pm's to him
So what is its value? And what could he get for it.
Cheers lee

Interested, fat Bubbs would like a project

Pm me a price
-
is it just me? or where the seat stays join the seat tube/top tube,is it a little bit different?
-
yeah, seat stays / down tube junction is GHP style. Seen this on a cruiser but not a changa so slightly out of the ordinary...
-

Damn I love a VDC,
What is the serial # ?
Really hard to put a value on the Frame/Fork and Bars, but if it has no structual damage it could go large.

they don't come up for sale very often,
I remember when you could get one for £300 F&F about 5 to 6 years ago :'(
-
Whereabouts in Dorset out of interest?
I am there as well and might be interested :daumenhoch:
-
eBay is the best way to get a good price and everyone can have a shot at it, start the bidding at £350 and see where it goes

Are they Profile horseshoe pedals! :LolLolLolLol:

That's VDC crap for ya, unless they are next to the boiler the just rot. You can't take em outside if it's looking a bit cloudy

VDC were a little like "Profile" with their discrepancies, the brake bridge on mine is a tad different to thers, Voris and his welders just grabbed whatever from the part bins.......
It could go quite large on ebay.....

My Gorila has the same seat stay detail as this
-
So lads!!!
We've got some interest!
Do you think we should have a bidding session on here or should she go to the bay?
-
The fairest way is the bay unless you or your mate have had a PM with an offer he can't refuse.
It's only rusty, as soon as that is dechromed the rust will go away aswell, that's an piss easy resto for anyone on here.
Bay it for all to have a go at is my two penneths worth.
-
Bay it ;)
-
Bay it ;)
International auction might get the likes of Flannel Camel interested. Assuming he still has a VDC fetish. :bondage:

hi people
the history goes
this bike belonged to a guy called ian greham who i think was sponsored by vdc of someone he had this and a chimp in ported from the states i believe he used it but then was given a hutch pro star which was the nuts !!!! i asked him to buy he said yes i walked away happy as a pig in shit lol
i then saved a picked up the bars from hotwheels ,, thanks matt,,,
i rode this bike right up to the age of 18 it was stolen many a times but i always got it back you cant hide a changa :)
if i remember i was 12 when i picked it up 1985 along time ago,, i dont really want to get rid of it but someone with money could restore her to new and i cant

There's a full week to go yet
I'd edit the title to say "old school bmx "in it though
and shouldn't the V--D-C be written as VDC
like Carl said he didn't find it :-\
-
It's doing alright to say no one can find it... ;D
-

he's been off the scene for about 3 years so doubt he'd want it
it will go for a lot though, so GLWS to the owner
-
though it sold the first time ???
-
agree,......why bid and not pay? he left POS feedback ?
smells like SHILL BIDDING !!! ::)

Both seller & the winner of the first auction in the same town ! , smells rank !! .....
-
advert says non payer, strange how the 1st buyer though left positive feedback, just offered £500 for it roughly what he would have made from the first sale minus ebay and payapl fees, says he wants more, ah well back to the drawing board haha
you can buy mine marty.... ;)
-
:yahoo_silent:
-
So has it been bid up then ?
-
I was watchin this and the ad was pulled with a couple of minutes to go. Correct me if I'm wrong!! ???
-
you were right andy , didn't it sell to the highest bidder a few minutes before end of auction i think
-
Greedy pig...
(http://investwithpassion.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/money-guy-glasses.jpg)
-
The same bidder shilled up the monkey bars
-
Bike advertised elsewhere so reserve the right to remove if it dont reach what i want. :D
-
Disapointing....I hate the games some peeps play.....
I was going to have a dig @ it but its turned me right off........
