Just landed this 10 minutes ago.

Been stored in a garage since 2000.

It's a local bike and was bought from Ron's Cycles in Heywood. I used to frequent this shop BITD riding to it, buying something with my paper round money before riding onto Roch valley raiders track, having an hour on there and then riding home.......memories.

Serial 10 84

What you think guys?

I'd be happy finding that.

There is one on my post round with curtis forks too but sprayed bombed black, owner won't sell, it was his as a kid and now his son rides it around, also on there is a Rickman freestyler and another freestyler in the same shed, both with Skyways. These two i could probably get if i was in to freestyle bikes $:-\$

Nice score

Top Survivor Steve, I used to love these when I saw Kappy's bit I don't like those rear standers now.

Gonna clean up nice this.

Cheers guys.

Yep complete strip and re powder should do the trick.

Love it!

Great colour and loving the blue acorns on it too.A survivor build with some nice blue components would look ace.

lol..

From what I have seen that is quite a lot these days.

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #17 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:17 PM »

The guy knew it wasn't worthless.....

Have a guess..

retrogeezer · « **Reply #18 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:20 PM »

o.k, well a restored white f&f went for £650 on egay!

I much prefer a survivor myself but would guess around £7-800?

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #19 on:** January 18, 2014, 08:22 PM »

So half that would be a good score?

Nice, did you find it in Heywood too.

Didn't know Ron the Con sold anything as up market as this bitd. Shepherds used to sell the good stuff and Ron used to sell the crap stuff from what I remember. Mind you he's still there so he must be doing something right.

stevesredvxr · « **Reply #24 on:** January 18, 2014, 10:18 PM »

No this was in Didsbury.
I bought my ELINA flyte tech from Ron's and my copy skyway platform plus loads of grips, donuts, chainrings, powerdiscs etc.
It was way cheaper than Shepherds as I remember but yeah, not as up market.
