Surviver or fooked..
« on: May 26, 2015, 10:27 PM »
Where do you draw the line? Think there's more pressure on people to keep as a survivor these days.. I like the look of a used bike, but not one that's just hanging in there.
Must say that it is nice to do a minter.  8)

I've done a couple that I wish I'd kept as survivor.

Now I've got a factory spec survivor (except brake blocks) and I love it, especially the rust :LolLolLolLol:

Think an healthy mix of both is good... survivors and minters that is. :daumenhoch:
Prefer survivors myself like.   :slayer:

I love a survivor bike & have a few kicking about. My feelings are,something like this needs a resto


Where as this needs to be left well alone



Too many og bikes have been lost, I understand people want a gleaming show bike but some of the bikes that have been restored/split up needlessly is a right fookin shame. There's plenty out there & if you want a minter buy the roughest example of what you want & leave the og stuff alone

P.s that pic of the Airzone makes it look better than It really is 😀😀😀

agreed ..

far too much powdercoating goes on though. its up to the individual but too much history and character ending up in a pile on the floor.

Fookin sheds all of em!!!! You should be ashamed of yaselves and get em powdered!!!  :LolLolLolLol:

Had a look on ebay last night and the amount of polished Tuf Neck stems etc is a fookin shame. If I was rich I'd by 'em all and get the machined finish back on 'em.  :yahoo_silent:

Depends on what it is and how original you want to keep it.  I kept my RSR as a survivor, new inner tubes, replaced the knackered rims, patched the holes in the tyres and put on a new brake cable, new grips to replace the completely knackered ones and a set of new frame pads.  My Scorpion got the full restoration treatment as I wanted to build it like the one I had bitd.

I must admit the RSR gave me a lot of food for thought as I was very tempted to rechrome, and go the replace everything route but I think by keeping it as a survivor it's retaining its character and history and given how rare they are I think that's important.
