Post by: Jim on January 24, 2014, 08:13 PM: no idea dan guy on the museum offered it to me.........think i'll leave it tho the more I look the worse it looks wanted a white one anyway tbh :uglystupid2:
Title: Re: Next build
Post by: griff on January 24, 2014, 08:41 PM: Might just be a dodgy powder job, too thick & the welds will look all blobby

I wouldn't risk it tbh just in case someone's hiding a potential horror story

Post by: glenboy on January 24, 2014, 08:45 PM: I thought same as griff when I first saw it as it's a funny place to be re welded on both sides of bb so it might just be too thick powder as griff said I wouldn't bother if it's overseas just wait for one to turn up in uk I'd say

Post by: Jim on January 24, 2014, 08:50 PM: Yeah I told the guy I'd leave it and he got a bit shirty. Didn't want to buy a lemon with all that postage and duty :10_2_12:

Post by: Gnarlyscoots on January 24, 2014, 09:38 PM: Half way down page one on the museum now. 1980 looptail survivor f+f

He wants $750. You prob get it for $700 which iin english money is about £420ish.

Shipping frame and fork is $75 max to the UK.

If shipped right, you will get no fees on it :daumenhoch:

You wont find an 80 looptail f+f in the UK for that money.
