T1 ruben or barcode

[webbie]

Ive been offered a T1 ruben what do you guys think is a fair price   Odyssey forks and cranks fit bars g sport hubs and odyssey 7k rims. I'm not sure what year but nice and tight used but good condition

[GavinDavis]

Nice looking bike there!  Could do with a bit of a tidy up but that'l go in your favour price wise.  Not really sure what it would be worth....i would ask what he wants for it really.

[webbie]

Its £150 which i didn't think was too bad

[GavinDavis]

Thats not bad at all for the spec 

[webbie]

Got it and it does need a bit of a tidy but rides so sweet  Its my new every day rider and it might just stay as it is flaking rims and all.  Not bad for £120

Bargain that pal , corking bike ,  got a Macneil Ruben , don't think the T1 is a great deal different ?   macneil feels spot on to ride 

[Betty]

Bargain 

Shorten the brake cable though 

[fugazi]

You got a bargain there!  Looks like a Barcode though from the pic.

[oldtired]

mmmm    was thinking the brake was in the wrong place , thought maybe a later one,   post up a pick of the rear end , seat stays that will clear things up

[hunterdubber]

Aye mental what N/S bargains there can be 

Those RIMS alone cost more than what you paid for the bike     


Needless to say , you did well

To be honest i thought it was a barcode i've got a 05 barcode frame in my garage when i get a chance i will get some pics up and compere the frames. I've also got a macneil ruben i'll get some pics of that too

ruben or barcode 




And the macneil

[fugazi]

Yes it's a Barcode  The T1 Ruben looks like a lighter, slimmed down version of that Macneil.

[oldtired]

all cleared up then         the day time shots confirm it's bargain,   slap some hammerite on it then go ride 

[Betty]

I wondered if it was a barcode, early T1 ruben frames had the same wishbone as a barcode, the later taiwan made ruben frames were slimmed down and didn't have the wishbone rear end

Thought all recent (from around 05/06) barcode frames had chain stay brake mounts... might be wrong though 

I'll shut up now.... sound a right geek 

If you wanna sell   

[webbie]

It was sold to me as a ruben but the barcode i have is the same except for external headset so i don't know
