This will be £1300 once customs charges/shipping is added...............

Advice please? TVM
-
thats stunning
questions: dents , rewelds, rechromed, original decals etc etc
as for price well if its all original then then why not
-
Not worth 1300 quid imo :-\
There was one sold on ere this week for 500 quid
-
I think £1300 is way to much epecially as it's a rechrome.
I would wait for a decent one to come up for sale in this country.
-
Jaymz, it's been re chromed which is all well and good but the finish looks too glossy if that makes sense?
The chrome on these frames was never great originally so a re chromed one stands out a mile :-\
-
where was the serial number? i thought they were basically worth fook all without the serial number :-\

Did wonder the same thing? Should be on the inside of the rear right dropout, hard to see if it's there at all on the pics

i didnt read the listing as it takes ages to load on my mobile phone, but if its not OG then there's no way id throw that much cash at it and if there's no serial then i wouldnt go near it
-
poss looks welded under front section but could be wrong just picture don`t look right

Re-chromed is always, well, shit...
-
Oooh, Florida....I'll be there on Friday!! :D
-
no!
think £800-£900 for a 100% perfect one is about right....
that one looks nice but looks like its had the knarly bit polished out of the rear dropouts and the welds look flattened through polishing...
-
Hmmm.....
Well, the rechroming thing doesnt bother me, in fact as long as its structurally sound underneath then I would prefer it but no serial number? If it has no serial number then its not worth a penny so far as im concerned. And as for the one that sold on here for £500, it sold for £500 for a reason. Battered to fook.
I would have beaten you to Florida :P however my trips to Iceland, then Ibiza and then my next trip to Bali in october has only left me with a few grand in the bank so if you can collect, why dont you?
:)
-
What? I wasn't saying I'd beat you to Florida, I was saying 'ooh Florida I'll be there on Friday'.......which is exactly where I'll be...Florida, on Friday. :idiot2:
I wouldn't buy that even if if you'd given me the money.
And your few grand in the bank and your trips Iceland (been there), Ibiza (been there) and Bali (didn't bother with this on my trip to Asia, I just went to Thailand and Hong Kong for a month) don't impress me at all.
Move along.

i would prefer an og "battered" gen 1 to an overchromed blinging show pony like this all day.

full stop.

Just grates me when people brag about money, holidays, cars, kids bikes etc.
My Holly is 9, I'd expect it off her but not a middle aged bloke on a BMX forum, especially when he can't even fork out a tenner for a Supporter Tag.
In the answer to your question Sam.......No. Some blonde dude with a small c)ck from up Sholver keeps coming round when I'm not in.......Rachel says she is glad
of a rest though from my non stop 3 hour sessions!! ;)
-
Not worth £1300 :)
-
No.

Don't part with her Den!
On the note of the seller of the Ebay one..Would not buy from him ever again..he sold me the master Skyway now is trying to sell..the pic's looked great..when i got her it was not pretty..and some vector bars that were shown as mint in pictures only to come very scuffed indeed..
Buyer beware Dave Genton is not to be trusted!
-
I dont really want to sell her Rob , but i have not money coming in at all, so if i can get a few quid for it , i wont be able to say no.
-
Understand that Den...Keep your chin up!
-
Is aways best to see frame and forks in the flesh if you are going to spend this sort of money!
If the seller will not have a return on sending...best stay clear...
-
Staying clear......
Site supporter tag? well, because I am an expat, I cant verify my PAYPAL account (because PAYPAL only verify by post or UK landline phone call) and RAD doesnt have any other means for me to pay.........
Wasnt trying to be c%%ky. I didnt mention Florida. Enjoy your hols.

can't you send the admin a cheque?
-
No, quite right, it was me who mentioned Florida.......why did I mention it? Because if for any reason you had needed my help getting it picked up and shipped / packed back to wherever
you live I would have offered to do so. You only had to ask. Like so many members on here prove time and time again, sometimes its nice to be nice.
This is the best forum there is and we all try and do our bit.
I've picked up bikes for others that have been hundreds of miles away because I'm like that and I know people on here would have done the same for me. ;)
-
Indeed I would Steve :) thankyou for the offer but its a little too rich for me at this time. Theres no way I can sort this without actually being in the UK though. And I have most definitely met some real genuinely great people through this ite.
Once again, cheers
Ash
