I agree with that - there was only so many of a certain item made, be it frames*, forks, wheels, bars, whatever and if the market for old school stuff is growing (nearly 1,000 members on here for example), demand is gonna outstrip supply and the prices are only gonna go one way, as old Yazz used to warble.

How long to the first £100.00 dust caps eh? ;)

They are the later bars with the knurling

Not quite as desirable for old school SE builds . . . but who knows, any thing could happen when stocks dry up

Cheers

Post by: Frosty on April 19, 2006, 01:05 PM: That's high, but as orb said pictured earlier the Star Bars will surely show a record this time.

My money is on this beating the both of them
