Title: Any info on this Meteor-lite please
Post by: tymbian on April 20, 2010, 10:41 AM
I have a chance to buy this but dont know anything about them, are you able to help? Frame looks like a redline ( imo ) bars possibly CW? What should I be looking to pay ( don't wanna be ripped off by the whole Old-school cliche ) if it is truly old-school...... Supposedly a 1984 Meteorlite. Thanx Peeps.

It looks decent enough - most of the parts are copies, frame and for look like those generic tange or or other reasonable quality manufacturer, but I wouldn't pay a lot for it £75-100 max??

Fors look more like Tioga/Tange ARX forks, same as you get on an Aero Pro, frame looks like a generic Tange jobby, have a look on the BB for serial number starting T or K  :daumenhoch:

No 1001 610....' (maybe a 2 after this) .. and then the rest has been worn away and theres a silver shine on the frame, cant make out clearly the numbers though... i hope this helps??
