Sounds like a good deal but is it?

they've been relisted doesn't seem bad but at 500 a pop its the going rate i'd say on 1 but having to buy 5 i'd want em a fair bit cheaper , i have a survivor one ball burnished with chrome forks a real pearler and paid just under 500 and chrome forks are better than the painted , they'd be nice to just look at in the front room though

None of them have stickers, they're all the same colour and they all look like they've been machined the same.

Reminds me of jesse Vargus, Sal esq

Just looking at the photos they look like they have seen a bit of re-finishing around the dropouts already.

I have a Ripper which I've had from new and although it's quite good I have carefully filed it in a few places to get rid of some accident damage, it doesn't take much to mark them, or to tidy them up.

If it were my money I would want to look at them all carefully before jumping in.

Funny as I used to live in Aldershot and should have felt their presence !

same as above....

call me Mr picky!

even though they are very nice it looks like the welds have been flat down a bit too much to pay top dollar, shame they have been stripped and the forks re-painted, as professionally painted just means someone got paid to paint them... he'd probably get more selling them individually...

As a few have pointed out,some of those have been repaired,this has not been stated.
Not a bad job though,seen worse.

he's got a few more frame sets
mk 1 quadangle
hutch judge
hutch hollywood
pro racer
and a few others i can't remember
he's wants top doller for them and none have decals.
i dont think he's short of money and he wont come down in price at all which is a shame as they are not worth 2.5k

meticulous · « **Reply #12 on:** June 18, 2011, 08:17 PM »

rear drop-outs have been filed wrong and the seat post dont look right, and theres deffo been a brake fitted...

yeah don't doubt they are original, but do look like they've been re-furbed..
