thats stunning

questions: dents , rewelds, rechromed, original decals etc etc

as for price well if its all original then then why not

Betty · « **Reply #2 on:** July 21, 2012, 06:28 PM »

Not worth 1300 quid imo $:-\$

There was one sold on ere this week for 500 quid

bodamus · « **Reply #3 on:** July 21, 2012, 06:30 PM »

I think £1300 is way to much epecially as it's a rechrome.

I would wait for a decent one to come up for sale in this country.

Betty · « **Reply #4 on:** July 21, 2012, 06:32 PM »

Jaymz, it's been re chromed which is all well and good but the finish looks too glossy if that makes sense?

The chrome on these frames was never great originally so a re chromed one stands out a mile $:-\$

where was the serial number? i thought they were basically worth fook all without the serial number $:-\$

Did wonder the same thing? Should be on the inside of the rear right dropout, hard to see if it's there at all on the pics

i didnt read the listing as it takes ages to load on my mobile phone, but if its not OG then there's no way id throw that much cash at it and if there's no serial then i wouldnt go near it

Re-chromed is always, well, shit...

Oooh, Florida....I'll be there on Friday!!

meticulous · « **Reply #11 on:** July 21, 2012, 07:09 PM »

no!

think £800-£900 for a 100% perfect one is about right....

that one looks nice but looks like its had the knarly bit polished out of the rear dropouts and the welds look flattened through polishing...

nosher70 · « **Reply #12 on:** July 21, 2012, 07:11 PM »

Hmmm.....

Well, the rechroming thing doesnt bother me, in fact as long as its structurally sound underneath then I would prefer it but no serial number? If it has no serial number then its not worth a penny so far as im concerned. And as for the one that sold on here for £500, it sold for £500 for a reason. Battered to fook.

I would have beaten you to Florida

however my trips to Iceland, then Ibiza and then my next trip to Bali in october has only left me with a few grand in the bank so if you can collect, why dont you?

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #13 on:** July 21, 2012, 07:23 PM »

What? I wasn't saying I'd beat you to Florida, I was saying 'ooh Florida I'll be there on Friday'.......which is exactly where I'll be...Florida, on Friday.

I wouldn't buy that even if if you'd given me the money.

And your few grand in the bank and your trips Iceland (been there), Ibiza (been there) and Bali (didn't bother with this on my trip to Asia, I just went to Thailand and Hong Kong for a month) don't impress me at all.

Move along.

Just grates me when people brag about money, holidays, cars, kids bikes etc.

My Holly is 9, I'd expect it off her but not a middle aged bloke on a BMX forum, especially when he can't even fork out a tenner for a Supporter Tag.

In the answer to your question Sam.......No. Some blonde dude with a small c)ck from up Sholver keeps coming round when I'm not in.......Rachel says she is glad
of a rest though from my non stop 3 hour sessions!!

Don't part with her Den!

On the note of the seller of the Ebay one..Would not buy from him ever again..he sold me the master Skyway now is trying to sell..the pic's looked great..when i got her it was not pretty..and some vector bars that were shown as mint in pictures only to come very scuffed indeed..
Buyer beware Dave Genton is not to be trusted!

denzil · « **Reply #24 on:** July 22, 2012, 12:52 PM »

I dont really want to sell her Rob , but i have not money coming in at all, so if i can get a few quid for it , i wont be able to say no.
