Now they were a bargain!

Last year I bought a green survivor 85 master off eBay for £500 and I had several rad users tell me that it was a lot of money for what it was. Now the frame and forks are going for that price alone. And that was only six months ago! Plus I got a load off good bits on it like, sr gt mallet stem, dc brake set with levers complete, rickman bars, (since sold as they Were'nt my thing)
Gt seat (sold to costa as I have a minty mint dominator to fit) tuff neck chainring and power disc, dc mx twin bolt seat clamp (which I may sell on after I have given it a polish, shimano dx pedals,  and a set of white alloy hubbed tuffs. That I have since restored. Hopefully I will have it finished today if it's not to cold!  Brrr  :daumenhoch:

Aero reflex!  :LolLolLolLol: :2funny:  

There was a nice one at the Birmingham ride last week.  :4_17_5:  And it still had those useless frame standers on it. Only good if your size 7 or under in the footwear department!  A slight oversite by aero me thinks!  Mind you I guess that we're building them for little kids!  :LolLolLolLol:
