Title: Re: 2013 TA 20 now available to order...who's going to get one?!!??
Post by: mattuknc on November 30, 2012, 08:11 PM: delivery was $75 on top for the 24, + the 40 odd on import tax. It'll probably work out about £450 for f/f and bars. :-\

Post by: Munnyella on November 30, 2012, 09:53 PM: Doesn't look a bad bit of kit really, bit overpriced, but they know they'll shift them.

A nod to the past, with some modern bits. Is it that much different to BMW doing the Mini, apart from 2 extra wheels.

I'm still not buying one though, but i'm not buying a real one either.

Post by: Tidelander on December 01, 2012, 09:14 AM: Ordered. Each to their own, but I for one think it is awesome that the old companies are doing these and making newer versions of old classics. There's a place for old-old school and these as well IMHO

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on December 01, 2012, 09:03 PM: So if I read it right Matt, it's frame, fork and bars for $500 + $100 postage + customs charge of around $70 ???

$670 = £419

I think this frame set will look awesome with my Retro Skyways on :daumenhoch:

Post by: PKRIPPER on August 25, 2013, 03:35 AM: Hi guys sorry to drop in on your thread.
I'm quite tempted with 1 of these but was wondering if they really are any good.You know being a new bike etc they do look the mutts tho and am seriously gettin me 1 to do a custom build on over time just wondering how other users who have them have got on with them
:)

Post by: HARORIDER on August 25, 2013, 08:23 AM: although these look :smitten: in the flesh they should have done what dom/haro did with the new gen 1 -usa bottom bracket and old school geometry :daumenhoch:
Title: Re: 2013 TA 20 now available to order...who's going to get one?!!??
Post by: pickle on August 25, 2013, 08:43 AM: :LolLolLolLol: Old school geometry? Why would you want that? You need to be able to ride it so sod 18.5" top tubes. Move on and buy an old one if you want old school :daumenhoch:

Decent price but i could never ride something with V brakes :-X

Couldn't you grind the brake lugs off and drill the brake bridge for a rear calliper :-\

things have moved on for the better so use em 8)
