errrr - looks like the guy is getting loads of questions about and people telling him what is worth. He has no feedback either, I would not hold my breathe to be honest..


but you have got to be in it, to win it. :D

No need to worry about the competition from me Craig. Missus would go spare.....

Would love to get me hands on some og forks though, I feel mine will always be incomplete

I don't think the chap appreciates what he really has. Hopefuly your gain!  :daumenhoch: Good luck with it bud

Bars - don't see the attraction unless they are sellable on their own which i guess they are.
Value - Not even with the og forks? and was this not in reference to value at the time, and of course was from an ebayer rather than the seller?
Yours - does it have the og forks? wanna sell them?  ;)

Freestylist bars ! They never sold many .They never sold many frames TBH .Torker went bump when they started selling these .Alans bought about 200 framsets most with no forks .The bars are even rarer .If your not a Torker man they they are just v bars with bits on  :)

No mine have LG copies .The OG forks were shite they kept snapping .Every pair i have seen have been welded .This is probably the reason why they went bust .Lack in quality

Saw that when it came on,tbh the only thing I'd want myself would be the bars,been after a set for years? I've had plenty of those frames myself,think I,ve had a couple off Alans at £99 few years back, nowt special except original forks,I suppose due to the fact that the headtube takes a 5" steerer at a half decent price it'll be worth restoring perhaps? Hope you get it craig I'll give you £50 for the bars ;)

PS...Well done to the know-it-all with the last question who's posting it to generate some interest on Rad bmx! :tickedoff: like it wasn't generating any/enough? :uglystupid2:

yes, yes, Mirage bars. The name popped in my head when I saw the listing yesterday. The kid round the corner from me rode for Alans/Torker but I don't recall him having a set, so I always figured they were rare.
