they've been relisted doesn't seem bad but at 500 a pop its the going rate i'd say on 1 but having to buy 5 i'd want em a fair bit cheaper , i have a survivor one ball burnished with chrome forks a real pearler and paid just under 500 and chrome forks are better than the painted , they'd be nice to just look at in the front room though :daumenhoch:
-
None of them have stickers, they're all the same colour and they all look like they've been machined the same.
Reminds me of jesse Vargus, Sal esq
-
Just looking at the photos they look like they have seen a bit of re-finishing around the dropouts already.
I have a Ripper which I've had from new and although it's quite good I have carefully filed it in a few places to get rid of some accident damage, it doesn't take much to mark them, or to tidy them up.
If it were my money I would want to look at them all carefully before jumping in.
Funny as I used to live in Aldershot and should have felt their presence !
-
same as above....
call me Mr picky!
even though they are very nice it looks like the welds have been flat down a bit too much to pay top dollar, shame they have been stripped and the forks re-painted, as professionally painted just means someone got paid to paint them... he'd probably get more selling them individually...
-
These were up on the bay around the 16th May....defo a relisting
-
when these rippers were on the bay last time didnt a few radsters try clubbing in together to buy them ?

yeah I would have chipped in but have got 2 more Rippers since then so based on that I'm out.
-
sorry i wont be investing today...im out. :D
-
As a few have pointed out,some of those have been repaired,this has not been stated.
Not a bad job though,seen worse.
-
2 1/2k ;D
Of all the colours to paint the forks, dark blue ;D
-
he's got a few more frame sets
mk 1 quadangle
hutch judge
hutch hollywood
pro racer
and a few others i can't remember
he's wants top doller for them and none have decals.
i dont think he's short of money and he wont come down in price at all which is a shame as they are not worth 2.5k
-
rear drop-outs have been filed wrong and the seat post dont look right, and theres deffo been a brake fitted...
-
doesn't sound to happpy in his listing.............
i cannot see why is listing 5 all in one auction either,...
yeah don't doubt they are original, but do look like they've been re-furbed..
anyone know the seller???
