I would love a Schlongshot  :smitten:

 :shocked:  Each to their own I suppose.   :D

Mighty rare but hideous (IMO) unless you were into Meccano as a kid.   :-\

Post by: kungfunky on December 20, 2012, 08:44 PM
If it's a 79 then it's an STR-1 ( not the 78 STR-1 Prototype ) they were re named the Quadangle in 80 after Stu left  :daumenhoch:

Post by: antiquebmx on December 20, 2012, 08:55 PM
mm ok but we dont even know its a 79

any case its not what I think of an str-1 
Title: Re: Rare Beast
Post by: kungfunky on December 20, 2012, 08:59 PM
Agreed, even though the 79's are STR-1's the 78's are the REAL DEAL imo.

Fooking ridiculous price for that bike, I love Slingshot's but he really has ruined that one.

No Slingshot forks either, for that price I would want Slinshot everything, I had the forks and bars and sold it for a lot less.

That was mine, it was different from the one for sale as I had Slingshot forks and ultra rare Slingshot bars, plus mine looked good whereas the one on ebay is attrocious  :knuppel2:
