Could use the cash and its just sat in my shed looking purdy. I think I prefer my TA and Rebel (for personal reasons) so the quad would be first to go despite being probably my best bike in terms of parts.
Spec as follows:
- 1983 (sure its 83, could be 82) Reynolds 531 frame in blue with white unstamped LG's. The frame was powdered before I got it, and is in very nice nick. Its never been ridden since powdering just built a couple of times. Powder has flaked off the seat tube from a too tight Tuf Neck clamp but its pretty much hidden when built (just the top edge shows). LG's are mint with blue LG decals, but the thread is slightly damaged about half way down (does not affect fitting and it tightens up perfectly).
- Tange 125 headset in chrome with blue decal. NOS b4 fitting.
- Vector pro bars with integral stem in chrome (chrome about an 8/10). Wedge needs replacing as its threads have gone.
- Oakley F1 grips in blue w/ white sleeves. These were NOS but have a few storage marks on end.
- Front and rear DC MX1000 in chrome with blue skyway tuff pads plus left and right DC Tech 3's and blue cables and 2 cable clips.
- DC hinged clamp in chrome.
- Reynolds 531 seat post in chrome.
- Kashimax Aero in blue NOS b4 fitting. Came to me with no guts so I got one of those Landar replacement guts.
- Hanabishi 3 pc. NOS b4 fitting.
- Tuf (or Pro) Neck chainwheel.
- Shimano SX in blue.
- Z rims in blue (with Suzue hubs in blue). Rims have been re-decal'd. Not ridden on since being re-built.
- 2.125/1.75 Rainbow Comp III's. NOS b4 fitting.
- Quad padset in blue/white.
- Izumi chain in silver.
- Haro circuit board plate in blue/white/grey.
Ideally dont want to split. What do you reckon its worth complete?
-
presume its the blue one in your signiture - can you post up a better piccy?
-
Be prepared to take a big hit if you sell complete :-\
-
first refusal on the frame and forks if you sell, with headset.... obviously at the right money.... :)

Yeah, will get some pics up soon. Not taken any since the vector bars and new grips were fitted fairly recently.
Dont mind a hit, if it saves the hassle of stripping and posting parts left, right and centre. Just depends on how much of a hit.
Meticus, I will pm you.
-
Just had a tot up and you are looking just under a grand !
-
danny full bikes lose a big hit
you,ll be loads better off breaking it :daumenhoch:
i know its a pita but its the best recoup :daumenhoch:
-
depending on how much you value your time, the cost of posting it all etc etc.
i've sold a few full bikes on here no problem.
for example, if your bike as per craig values in at say 900, and it goes for 700, its whether you see the extra potential 200 quid to split it as being worth it.
bear in mind some of the stuff might not sell etc, so you might only end up with 700 quid and few bits left over.
i''d give 300 quid for it, nice and peaceful, would collect as well :D

Ok, well here go the pics (lots of em)...

fook!!! them bars kill it.... hope i dont offend.... everything else yum! yum! though
-
thought the same myself.
lovely lovely bike though eh...
just needs a tuffneck and some powerwings ;)
-
What they said^^^
Those bars dont do owt for it... no offence... ;)
You'll always do better splitting
Stick an add up with prices for everything pending frame/forks going first... :daumenhoch:
-
Yes I agree about the bars, its funny Haro Vectors go for sill money, but these just don't have the same appeal :-\
-
Lol... no offence taken chaps. Personally, I love em, think they suit the angles of the frame. But agree they are very marmite.
-
dan ignore em, they aint got a clue, the bars are cool
split it and ebay it, sold some cranks last week in 12 minutes for £30 more than i offered on here
give me a shout on the bars if you split ;)
-
dib dobs on the seatpost & also i maybe grips & headset if you split.
-
Nice bike, those bars are cool as funk :daumenhoch:
Good luck with the sale.
-
Thanks for the comments guys, appreciated.
Moving towards selling this complete, as I dont rally have time to spilt and would rather have the cash in a single hit even if I do end up losing out. Want to stay away from the bay if possible, their fee's just kill it.
Or maybe I could list with a crazy BIN and see if anyone bites?
-
dib dobs on the MX brakes and levers if you do split :daumenhoch:
-
advertise over in the states mate, wider audience......
-
may be keen on the mx clamp if split ;)
B
-
advertise over in the states mate, wider audience......
do they ever ever actually buy outside the us ? do they actually know of anything outside the us ?
-
so true :LolLolLolLol:
-
advertise over in the states mate, wider audience......
do they ever ever actually buy outside the us ? do they actually know of anything outside the us ?
Was gonna say, cant imagine US buyers ever importing stuff from UK. Does it ever happen (with the likes of full bikes, not small parts that are easy)
-
Listed it on ebay for £1200 (wont get it) while I decide what to do. If someone on the bay fancies chuckinh a grand+ at me, its theirs.
Will be gutted to see it go, and reallyneed every penny out of it due to personal circumstances (road bike going next :( ).
-
has it been repaired or any dings at all? :daumenhoch:
-
No dings, but Matskybeat (previous owner) contacted me last night and...
'there was a very small hole in the top tube which has been proffessionally fixed, it can not be seen and it has no effect on the strength of the frame. The frame is mint, not a mark on it'
I was assured I was told this when I bought it, but it is such a good repair I must have forgotten as it cannot be seen and these things dont bother me too much. Dont want to mislead anyone so glad to divulge (cheers Matt) :daumenhoch:
I'l put this info in the ebay ad when I can log in (work wont let me... >:( ). Loads of interest so far and some interesting offers...
