curtis on ebay - tis a shame!

[Sid1972]

Why,why and why again.

Curtis on ebay being split into frame sale and forks sale.

Blows my mind....

Hope the same buyer gets them or it just puts another frame into the mix.

This P's me off to! parting a matching f+f,s for pure profit! It would have got a decent price if sold together i'm sure.............................,If the seller is on here shame on you!  sorry

Happens a lot on the Museum with TA's. People pm'ing the seller for a fork sale with ridiculous offers, the seller splits and the frames are then just left with no one buying them. I have never understood the mentality of splitting frame and fork sets to be honest. 'Tis a shame f'sure

Then again, I could really do with the forks

Is that because you bought a frame from someone who sold just the fork Chris

I agree its a shame just to make I little bit more money

I sold the forks to buy the frame, i'll have a for sale thread up soon selling the frame if I win the forks...

      What a load of toss . I foookin hate this . Took me fricken ages 2 find a pair of Rickman Pro forks and cost 

got an orphan pair of Patterson PR200J forks that I bet some buggers desperate 4 sat here  Patterson stuffs like rockin horse poo aswell  had some curtis forks but they went 2 the Gas obviously

Personally i'd prefer the tyres, maybe she'll sell those one at a time. 

[Adiers]

i bought the forks to go with a curtis pro i bought off here so they are still going to be matched to a frame

Result that Aide - all things come to those who wait

We've seen this a million times and everyone says it's to maximise on the profit but I can't see the logic 
Personally I wouldn't bid incase I only ended up with half, I'm sure I can't be the only one that thinks this way.

So it's six of one and half a dozen of the other

Will you get more profit from splitting into two auctions? Or will you get more profit from having twice as many bidders?

I pity the fool that splits them and lists the forks first 



By the way....  There's a guy splitting a set of reproduction VDC pads on eBay into three if anyone's interested

Those forks weren't  a bad price mate, I thought my mate let them go to you at a good price ?

This is the new Curtis pro project now the forks have come
Allready off to be dechromed and painted black with gold decals
Frame was £100 and forks £160 and I've got a paint job owed to me so not to bad price wise up to yet
I've got some nice gold ukais with suntour hubs for it
How hard is it to find the pro bars?
I will update progress on this project. Any input is welcome 

[martin46]

Cool 

I've got a couple of Curtis builds on the go at the moment too. Slow going though as parts are hard to come by. Especially the pro bar's, been looking for a set for years, but they're very rare and fetch top money when they do come up. Mainly because they were never as well made as the f&f sets and were not made from t45 so didn't last.

Good luck with it though and i'll look forward to seeing its progress
