Ive been following this listing.

It started off at £2k with no pictures
He put pictures up and put the price, then about an hour later put theprice up again, then once more he put it up
Well I hope he likes because he's going to be keeping it at that price

A burner guy would splash a grand & some more I reckon on it but 4k I'm not so sure .

Also , would it go down in value if you built it  :LolLolLolLol: ( no longer boxed/wrapped ) .

If I win the lottery tomorrow night I'm going to race that bike at MK! lol. That'll fokk it's value right up!

But seriously, a burner fan with money to errrrr burn might splash a couple of grand on that I reckon.

It's probably worth about £1500 in my opinion. And I wonder if it's the same one that sold back in 02/03 for £750ish..

Thing is it's easy to make an old one look like that with a bit of paint but would be cool to keep as it is.

Definite piece of history no doubt - and a cool find.

NOS White Alloy hub tuffs got to be worth £300 +
NOS Gen 2 comp 3's must be £200 +
NOS Black Kashi Aero £150 +
NOS frame - no idea but it must be worth £500 for a NOS frame no ?
add all the other NOS bits and the box and documents etc. and it must be worth £1500+ as a full package but definitely not £4k  :2funny: :LolLolLolLol:

Cool though.

Very desirable object for a lot of people 8)
There's probably so much work going on behind the scenes to try and land this ;D
Who's got the deepest pockets?

I'd say around £1500 is what it is worth, maybe a little more, but even when it was £2000 it was still a bit too much  :D
