Title: Splitting
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on September 18, 2011, 01:35 PM
I have just secured a super deal on a 1983 'survivor' in beautiful condition. I shall not name the bike or the parts on it but, looking through the wanted section, I know most if not all the parts would be swallowed up by members on here.

The question is though, should I or should I not split it  :-\

True Robbo but I only really need a certain part from it for something else  :daumenhoch:

If it's a nice survivor, it would be a pity to split it IMHO :(

It is yer but I only need the ........ from it  :coolsmiley: The rest, apart from the chainring, is original to the bike and in great condition to be honest.

I really need the ........ from it though and have no use for the rest  :-\ It will just be sitting in my garage  :(

If no response to this, I will prob just pass it on complete  :(

What's wrong with splitting a bike now?

unless its something that is rare and desired as a complete survivor take what you need off it and split it.  tell us what it is and we can decide for you  ;)

Post by: glenboy on September 18, 2011, 03:17 PM
as said its yours to do what you will with but hardly anybody would split a survivor et to be honest , you can get the wheels easy elsewhere , i'd keep it and get the wheels elsewhere and if you sell the et's are one of the few bikes that go well as a complete

Dude, I have struggled to get Black speedlines with HF Suntours for a while now and no-one is giving them up. I can't even get the HF hubs except at ridiculously over-inflated prices  :(

As you can see, the hubs are not HF  :(  :(
Title: Re: Splitting
Post by: balladof32 on September 18, 2011, 04:35 PM
yep must have been those...were they worth the price you paid ?
Title: Re: Splitting
Post by: Gnarlyscoots on September 18, 2011, 04:49 PM
Defo worth what I paid for them  :daumenhoch: They are in really good condition for '83. Gonna have the sidewalls 'shiny sided' and touch up the little line around the hub  :coolsmiley:

I just needed HF hubs really and no luck in trading these yet  :(

Title: Re: Splitting
Post by: balladof32 on September 18, 2011, 05:23 PM
ill take the hubs if youve no need for them

Post by: Betty on September 18, 2011, 05:30 PM
Try and sell it complete, shame to split a nice survivor....  :(

It's your bike though so it's your call

Title: Re: Splitting
Post by: sid1972 on September 18, 2011, 05:31 PM
if you are keeping both bikes - take the wheels off the et and put the set on it will the low flanges.

get the new build as you want it and wait for a while and the hf will come up to change them back.

best of both worlds..  8)

Agree with Terry here.
I haven't come across many people having a problem with splitting tbh.
 The only time I have seen any frowning about it are when it's done purposely day in day out as a business.

I get wound up myself when I see frames being sold without their fork too so I certainly wouldn't go down that road  :daumenhoch:

Poochy Poochy Poochy, I have the wheels from the Kuwi on the museum  :daumenhoch: Sweet as but the hubs are low flange, be them all original and dated July '83 and all  :-* but I would like High Flange Suntours and thats

what this E.T has  :daumenhoch: So I'm probably gonna strip the hubs from the wheels off the E.T, replace with these hubs and do a deal with The Kap for one of his freestylers as I don't do race type thingy's  :LolLolLolLol:
