It is a scary prospect.  Radman's stuff made really strong money when he sold up a few years ago when it looked like the market was at it's peak.  Might have made a few quid more if he'd hung onto it as prices are still climbing for pukka stuff like what he had.   :daumenhoch:

 it would be extremely difficult to know if these were 80's ones or not unless you had another pair to compare it too.............. :-\

That's very true Damo especially seeing as these were rechromed.

Not quite true, these were a bargain, expected them to go for a lot more. I know they're a mismatch but it wouldn't notice on a show bike.

I think fuel prices are outragous as they affect me, VDC bars do not.

I thought about putting a post up the other day regarding recession.......what recession!! I was watching those bars and couldn't believe it when they reached 500bucks, let alone 700 :shocked: :idiot2:

I was watching a set of NOS blue DC MX 1000 calipers, levers and cables went for over 300, i saw a NOS Tange 125 h/set in black which i really need to finish off a build, the guy listed it at a start price of £165, no one took the bait, i emailed & offered what i thought was a fair price(he declined), then puts it up for a BIN listing for £159.99 & it gets snapped up.

I've built 3 Haro's & a Reflex as show ponie's(although one of the haro's is a rider) in just over a 3yr period of collecting & i'm glad that i'm calling it a day & not building any more bikes. Though i did just win a sweet condition Extra Burner(same model i had back in the day) :smitten: off egay 2 day's ago & will be picking it up this saturday.  That will bring my collection to full circle, the bike i had as a teenager to the bikes i could never afford(still can't now if i'm trueful). :)

Now, who wants a 'show chromed' mint as a minty thing CW Racing 'braced' layback seat post for £275 :angel:

Buz ;)
