Post by: lk_97 on March 10, 2012, 07:43 PM

how much is an f&f worth? I want to build one with new school parts :)

Thecaptain had trouble shifting a 93? red F&F (with cut down forks) for £150 I think?

as danny said £150 depending on condtion, slightly more if it still has the bashguard :daumenhoch:

Cheers guys, not as expensive as I thought, if I got one, would it be best to stick new school, or early mid school parts on it? I know which one I want to do after thinking about it and talking to Lennie now though, just wondering :daumenhoch:

I'd like another but there rarer than hens teeth with the correct forks and bash guard!

I'm not that bothered if it doesn't have the bashguard to be honest, if I need to I'll just buy a bolt on one, so yeah, if anyone wants to get rid of one or knows of one let me know ;)

just a waste of money and time throwing new school parts on it. what would be the point of doing that?  if you would be using as a daily rider then you are just making it way harder for you to ride and you would be destroying a WAL at the same time......

I would never use one of these as a rider they used to crack at the rear drop outs. There is hardly any welds. One of the worst frames ever made. Mine lasted 3 days. Avoid like the plague!  :daumenhoch:

I thought this literally 5 mins after posting it... I would definitely make it look like an early mid school bike. And Discostu, I weigh about 7 stone and don't ride very hard, it will probably be alright :daumenhoch:
