Saw this and the kit on it and i wanted it, emailed the seller several times to see if he'd ship it to the uk no replies, even tried to bid at the end would have went a few hundred higher than what it finished at, would'nt let me due to my address.
Someone got a good deal last night

Is £1250 plus shipping and customs cheap for one of those?  Is it just the cranks that makes the bike so attractive?

[martylaa]

it is when ya see hutch aerospeeds going for roughly the same as what this complete did and there is some good stuff on this bike
i think it was a steal

[Dark Diggler]

Bargain

I see, not really up to speed on the price of Aerospeeds.   I don't know why yanks won't ship here - maybe they're scared of chargebacks.  It would be easy for someone to receive the bike, then start a dispute and end up with the sellers bike and some or all of their money back too.  Maybe that's it.

The bidding ended at around $2000 but the higher bidder might have bid $3000 on the bike so (in theory) you might have had to go as high as that to win the auction.  That's what I always convince myself into believing when I don't win an auction anyway.

i got round this the once mate by sending the seller us dollars in cash sent international priority. its a gamble but most the sellers are worried about people doing charge backs from paypal than they are posting to the uk. next time offer cash its not let me down yet.

[martylaa]

that is true mate but i wanted to at least try and get it

Have you got anyone one the US forums you get on well with? Ask if anything comes up like that in the future if they wouldn't mind dealing with it on your behalf.

[martylaa]

yeah tom lets me send stuff via his address, should have asked him about it
ah well maybe next time, can't believe someone got this for that price, i'd still be jumping now if it was me

[CD17]

Yes that is a deal 

[Swivel]

It`s only the cranks and handlebars that are a bit special surely, the tuffs are not all that, and Trickstars are not that rare are they ??

[meticulous]

though i probably couldnt live with it in that condition and would have to restore it,  it has so much more caracter left like that as a survivor...

its just the cranks fullstop, that are worth so much,i cannot understand why though...

[martylaa]
