Who's going for the big daddy on ebay ?

I mailed the guy and he says he'd take £350 for it.  I think he's over pricing it a touch.

I saw that. Nice paint job. Its a ramp room isn't it? Shame the forks aren't with it.

It's def ramp room daddy. £350 seems a lot as the rest of the parts are off a low price GT.
I wonder if he will chuck in any logs with it!

£350 would be ok if it had og forks, which it don't plus needs a resto I'd say £100 tops

Actually it's a 93 se bd so prob worth a bit more, but as per the norm it's missing its forks which are rare as feck! Loads off se bd without og forks

My bad. I thought the SE versions had the coaster bracket on the chain stay not the seat stay......

Do they do both styles?

thats cause they were shit :LolLolLolLol:

same as the first s&m forks, makes em rare and more desirable  :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

agree that its worth more than £100, prob around £150  but non og paint lets it down, prob worth £200 if it had og paint/chrome

the coaster brake mount moved whilst in ramp room production, some ramp rooms came with chainstay mount then switched to seatstay mount

Post by: EDBANGER on April 16, 2014, 09:18 PM
I had a feeling this guy wouldn't let it go for that price.  Like I say when I messaged him he said he'd got it advertised else where for £450 but would take £350.  What's he saying to you? 
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: skidmark on April 16, 2014, 10:25 PM
Early days yet, I'll give him the benefit of the doubt... :-X

Fingers crossed for you buddy.  I hate it when people try and dick you over on Ebay.  Did you pay via paypal or was it going to be cash on collection? 
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: solow79 on April 23, 2014, 09:19 PM
Was the ebay auction win honoured in the end or did he wriggle out of it?
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: skidmark on April 28, 2014, 04:03 PM
I got the bike in the end  ::)
the guy was alright, just having issues with his paypal account/s, banks cards etc, it was a right palaver.
Anyway, it turns out it's a Ramp Room, what looked like a second cable guide was a cable ferrule  ;D ....never mind!
It's in really nice condition, no damage at all, no grindage/dents and the dropouts are spot on.

Anyone out there knowledgable on the b4 xxxx serials? I still don't know if I've got a 94 or 95..
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: Blacky on April 28, 2014, 09:39 PM
94
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: Blacky on April 28, 2014, 09:43 PM
Have you read the big daddy time line on here. Mite give you a good insight
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: Machine man on April 28, 2014, 09:44 PM
From what I've read the B4 serial ran  from 94  into 95. The question is does anyone have a ramp room bigdaddy with a B5 serial.
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: Machine man on April 28, 2014, 09:47 PM
What your serial ?
 Think mine is B4 64. I'm away from home the mo so can't be sure
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: solow79 on April 28, 2014, 09:54 PM
Mines B40 458. I guess it might just stay a mystery.
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: Machine man on April 28, 2014, 10:11 PM
I agree. Hoffman was always a joker. Helium tyres, sprung loaded forks..... Why not stamp crazy serials just so us saddo's can debate it 20 years on.

Good purchase, good looking frame.
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: skidmark on April 28, 2014, 10:29 PM
This one is B40069.  I've only heard of b4---- on ramp roomers, I think there was a whole load with no serial at all.

Post by: gary4130 on April 28, 2014, 11:35 PM
whats your plans for it mate ?
Title: Re: Hoffman big daddy ebay
Post by: skidmark on April 29, 2014, 07:29 PM
The frame is gonna be my rider I think ....not that I've ridden much at all in the last decade or two  :bellend:.
I always remember my old Big Daddy feeling nice.
The parts are mostly junk.
