Seen this for sale and although it looks a real nice build do you think it will actually sell in the end? Its already at a good price but my thoughts are it'll be relisted due to ebay time wasters plus There have been some cracking complete's for sale on there and here for that matter that just haven't sold?

Its lovely, but in my opinion its a £500 bmx, the way that auction is going you're going to be getting near survivor TAP money, and they're way superior. People dont realise, money in doesnt equate to money out

It's nice .. Quite shocked but in a way not ..prices continue to rise $:-\$
It's the rare or iconic stuff as always that demands the higher prices .. I'd rather have an AP.. For a little bit more but everyone's different

It looks pretty, but that's about the size of it in my opinion. Far too many re-issue parts on it to even be worth the £500 that Jaymz generously put on it.

Pretty much an exact replica and spec of the one I sold last year for £425. I built an Aero Pro for £129 more than this guys asking, and that was including Pro Class rims and a NOS Suntour stem and clamp.

Be interesting to see what it makes...hard to find one with the superchrome still intact, that is probably what is pushing the price up, a lot of people had these bitd
