Title: T1 ruben or barcode
Post by: webbie on January 23, 2013, 11:20 AM
Ive been offered a T1 ruben what do you guys think is a fair price  :) Odyssey forks and cranks fit bars g sport hubs and odyssey 7k rims. I'm not sure what year but nice and tight used but good condition

Nice looking bike there!  Could do with a bit of a tidy up but that'l go in your favour price wise.  Not really sure what it would be worth....i would ask what he wants for it really.

Got it and it does need a bit of a tidy but rides so sweet  :daumenhoch: Its my new every day rider and it might just stay as it is flaking rims and all.  Not bad for £120

Aye mental what N/S bargains there can be  :idiot2:

Needless to say , you did well  :coolsmiley:

Yes it's a Barcode  :daumenhoch: The T1 Ruben looks like a lighter, slimmed down version of that Macneil.

I wondered if it was a barcode, early T1 ruben frames had the same wishbone as a barcode, the later taiwan made ruben frames were slimmed down and didn't have the wishbone rear end

Thought all recent (from around 05/06) barcode frames had chain stay brake mounts... might be wrong though  :-\

I'll shut up now.... sound a right geek  :D

If you wanna sell  :smiley6600:  ;)

Looking at the timeline, it looks like an 06 barcode

http://issuu.com/terribleone/docs/barcode_timeline

The parts on it would tie in with it being from around then n all  :daumenhoch:

Post by: webbie on January 27, 2013, 02:52 PM
