3 different ads from Bicycles & Dirt Oct/Dec 1983 . Pics are'nt excellent , did them with digi camera ;) . You'll notice they announce the soon to be available Cruiser frame , that ad dated October 1983 .

Post by: mr.magoo on November 07, 2008, 11:05 AM: what price can be put on this rareness tho?

can't wait to see it back from powderers, may well end up for sale if price is right :daumenhoch:

Post by: Mattdub on November 07, 2008, 11:16 AM: I don't think price would be high , it's a kinda boutique bike company that made low numbers & not recognised by loads of people .

I'm not knocking it at all , I have some more obscure F+F's ( like Champion , Thruster etc ) that I prefer over the TA's/Gen 1's/Rippers etc because they're not so well known :daumenhoch: . There's not great value in them in monetry terms but cooler in my eyes because the market is'nt saturated with them .

mind looking at it, i would say its not made for us 14+ stoners, and i reckon he's heavier than me :LolLolLolLol:

If he was to sell I'd say put on ebay & make sure the auction is visible to the US , they'll know Navajo much better ;) .

Is he interested in restoring it if it's too delicate to ride ? .

Post by: mr.magoo on November 07, 2008, 05:49 PM: He's got it back from powdering today, but my phone don't take photo messages, so don't know how it came out?

He likes the idea of still riding it, but think if the right money was available he'd rather sell and go new shool cruiser.

US E-bay was to be my suggestion once i get a chance to meet up with him (i'm on nights for ten nights now :'()
