Navajo Cruiser Frame

[mr.magoo]

Navajo cruiser frame....are these rare??? only saw a handful of Navajo's bitd, mainly mini's,

mate has just got his hands on a Navajo cruiser frame, currently in for powdering.

Anybody got any info???

[mr.magoo]

just had some unconfirmed info that this was one of only two imported bitd?

anyone confirm this, or know of anymore around the country?

Neil, I got your PM notification but no PM.  Dunno why it does that sometimes.  Can confirm I've never heard of Navajo bikes.

cheers mike, surely someone out there knows something about them, i know Steve has been selling a mini, and they were extremely nice and light bitd......anyone?

Hi Neil ,

3 different ads from Bicycles & Dirt Oct/Dec 1983 . Pics are'nt excellent , did them with digi camera  . You'll notice they announce the soon to be available Cruiser frame , that ad dated October 1983 .

cheers Matt, it would seem that it may well be extremely rare on these shores then?

I would think so , never knew anyone bitd with one  .

[mr.magoo]

what price can be put on this rareness tho?

can't wait to see it back from powderers, may well end up for sale if price is right

[Mattdub]

I don't think price would be high , it's a kinda boutique bike company that made low numbers & not recognised by loads of people .

I'm not knocking it at all , I have some more obscure F+F's ( like Champion , Thruster etc ) that I prefer over the TA's/Gen 1's/Rippers etc because they're not so well known  . There's not great value in them in monetry terms but cooler in my eyes because the market is'nt saturated with them .

no worries, if thats the case, guess he'll rebuild it and race it for nostalgia

mind looking at it, i would say its not made for us 14+ stoners, and i reckon he's heavier than me

If he was to sell I'd say put on ebay & make sure the auction is visible to the US , they'll know Navajo much better  .

Is he interested in restoring it if it's too delicate to ride ? .

[mr.magoo]

He's got it back from powdering today, but my phone don't take photo messages, so don't know how it came out?

He likes the idea of still riding it, but think if the right money was available he'd rather sell and go new shool cruiser.

US E-bay was to be my suggestion once i get a chance to meet up with him (i'm on nights for ten nights now  )
