how much is this mk2 holmes worth

seller has assured me there is no dings, dents or cracks but frame needs a clean & forks may clean up

seller doesnt know how much he wants for it $:-\$

heres some pics but they were taken on his iphone

Jaymz · « **Reply #1 on:** June 16, 2012, 08:41 PM »

I've got £50 posted right here for it!!! bahaha

£150ish maybe

Like Jaymz said - £150+ depending on condition I reckon - deffo get a pic of where the seatstays meet the seattube though, as they have a tendency to crack round that point

Dark Diggler · « **Reply #3 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:07 PM »

as is... a ton, in good nick £150, mint £200

im with simon paul
no guarantee the forks will clean up

nice though mate xx

kev-s · « **Reply #6 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:39 PM »

even if the forks dont clean up a strip and rechrome is £30

1in pitchforks with twin dropouts dont come up often so dont let the chrome put u off

Gish · « **Reply #7 on:** June 16, 2012, 09:42 PM »

forgot to mention the bikes in the states so import tax will be added aswell

where can you get forks stripped and chromed for £30???

phatjimmy · « **Reply #9 on:** June 17, 2012, 10:10 AM »

I was thinking the same, strip and rechrome for 30 quid sounds very reasonable

phatjimmy · « **Reply #10 on:** June 17, 2012, 11:00 AM »

Oh hang on is there tin foil involved in this!!

kev-s · « **Reply #11 on:** June 17, 2012, 12:06 PM »

key plating, they are a local firm who have been around for years, no website u just pop in and the old boy who owns it gives u a price and a time frame, never had a bad chrome job from them

have had a set of profiles and a pair of forks dipped and re-chromed for £30 each

Betty · « **Reply #13 on:** June 17, 2012, 05:50 PM »

I reckon that'll clean up nicely, get it bought Gish

Just come back for another look at this, are those Challenger forks?

Legs look a bit skinny for pitchforks?

Ignore me.... just been and had a look, they're pitchforks

Gish · « **Reply #15 on:** June 18, 2012, 12:10 AM »

kev-s · « **Reply #23 on:** June 18, 2012, 07:31 PM »

dont forget import tax too, you may be lucky and get away with it, you could ask him to mark it as a gift but it will only be covered upto $50 i think

Betty · « **Reply #24 on:** June 18, 2012, 10:24 PM »

Wait for a Dirtbike instead
