Ok mid school dudes... need to do a bit of a clear out and I have this but not sure what to sell it for... I dont do ebay so dont tell me to stick it on an auction ::)
The frame is minty with a fresh powder coat and new repro decals, pitch forks are survivors with fresh repro decals, chrome is about 7.5/10, bit of surface rust coming through at the bottom of the steerer, shoudl come up well with a OA bath and a polish but I CBA!

oh the serial # is SMD8570 if you cant make it out

I picked mine up in original well used condition with a minty shafted redneck for £113, yours is mint so more i would say, hard to tell at the minute though Del, Betty had his mint chrome holmes frame n pitchforks up at £150 and it took a while to go, which is a stupidly cheap price in my opinion.
Good luck if you sell it, its lovely :smitten:
-
If I had the cashola this month I'd have that in a heart-beat :smitten:
But yeah - they seem to fetch around the 120-150 at the mo', although I agree that's cheap :(
-
Very cool looking frameset , Del
Did this used to be Betty's ?
They ride as good as they look too :daumenhoch:
Make a nice ride for a lucky someone :smitten:
-

No dude it wasn't one of mine, my yellow one was SMD 8657
As others have said Del, anywhere between 120-150 might bring a bit more if you ebay it and you're willing to ship to the states, but by the ebay/paypal take their slice it doesn't seem worth it
Dunno why values seem so low, cracking bikes to ride... :daumenhoch:

1" pitchforks are really hard to find, and those ones are nice ones :daumenhoch:
-
alex is right the forks are hard to find for sure 45.00 ish for forks and masybe 85.00 for frame in my view ,

For anyone considering an offer Dels way, I sold my very very nice Deluxe frame laced with Profile and Ti bits before Xmas, my Dirtbike same as this became my rider, 20.25 TT and I am 6'1...Its one of the nicest bikes I have ever ridden, its an inch shorter than the Deluxe and 8lbs heavier :shocked: but it rides MUCH nicer.......... (oh and it cost 1/5th of the Deluxe to put together)
Go on BUY IT
-
nice frame that del,
£120-£150 would be around fair :daumenhoch:

Hey Del
Diggler is right, I'm 6 foot and recently I have been ridin my Dirtbike and its 20.25 top tube and it rides sweet. Probs the best feeling bike I have ever ridden. The Holmes only comes out now for O/S nights and get togethers.
If I was you Del I would build the Dirtbike (Cos it is fckn gorgeous) Mid skool parts are going for low low prices at the moment but in a few years time it could be very different.
By the way cheers for all the stickers you did for me last year.
Keep the Faith and Rep the Shield.L
