Hi lads. An old school friend of mine has a changa.
It needs restoration but it's all there. I'd love it but can't afford it. I would offer him a sly £100 but think he has an idea it's worth a little more poss from me. Lol stupid boy.

So it's a changa with forks and VDC bars with a set of arayas on red suize hubs I think.
The frames in need of restoration.

What is it worth and who is interested if anyone???
We are in Dorset.

Cheers lads!

bodamus may still be after one....

Difficult to call without some good photos as VDC's have very thin tubing so any rust might need some very careful restoration.

Either ways I guess a good one with bars should fetch at the moment £800+

There you go lads.
Sorry it's taken a while. I've not been in a wifi zone for an age.
I've mentioned your pm's to him
So what is its value? And what could he get for it.
Cheers lee

is it just me? or where the seat stays join the seat tube/top tube,is it a little bit different?

yeah, seat stays / down tube junction is GHP style. Seen this on a cruiser but not a changa so slightly out of the ordinary...

Damn I love a VDC,

What is the serial # ?

Really hard to put a value on the Frame/Fork and Bars, but if it has no structual damage it could go large.

they don't come up for sale very often,

I remember when you could get one for £300 F&F about 5 to 6 years ago

Whereabouts in Dorset out of interest?

I am there as well and might be interested

eBay is the best way to get a good price and everyone can have a shot at it, start the bidding at £350 and see where it goes
