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

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.

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

GavinDavis · « **Reply #3 on:** January 23, 2013, 12:57 PM »

Thats not bad at all for the spec

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

Bargain

Shorten the brake cable though

You got a bargain there!

Looks like a Barcode though from the pic.

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

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 · « **Reply #12 on:** January 25, 2013, 02:01 PM »

Yes it's a Barcode

The T1 Ruben looks like a lighter, slimmed down version of that Macneil.

oldtired · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2013, 05:16 PM »

all cleared up then

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

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 · « **Reply #15 on:** January 25, 2013, 08:05 PM »

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
