Thanks to Si (Crooch) for posting an explanation around the circumstances for the sale of these parts.

I did intend to post something similar myself, but was aware that it may well come across wrong, and felt it better to just list the stuff on ebay.

As I've said in the listing this frame isn't perfect, but it still is very nice....sorry I can't take offers guys, but I hope you understand.

If you have any specific questions or would like better photos etc, just drop me a line...

Thanks again guys and keep an eye out for the rest of the collection as I get it listed...

Nice !!!

That is NOS regardless of cups being pressed in. Its never been used as you can see from the drops.

Perfect Gen 1 apart from forks.

Glad you like the Haro guys - this is the best one....got another two coming up soon - another in chrome, and one in blue with forks - keep watching.

I'm starting to clear through the rest of the collection and trying to list one each week.

Just listed the Vitus....http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320403139090

Thanks for your support

WHOOOOOA !!!!

Check that Vitus out !!!

It's an absolute beauty

munners · « **Reply #34 on:** July 24, 2009, 08:42 AM »

That Vitus is a stunner!!

So well made. Shame it hasnt got the forks.

I would sell that on ebay.com so that the French can watch it too.

Never heard of them but like it alot.

Exotic or what.

you need these forks

munners · « **Reply #39 on:** July 24, 2009, 11:53 AM »

Well they aint gonna be found in a hurry.

thecrooch · « **Reply #40 on:** July 25, 2009, 11:52 PM »

and yeah they are welded... not one to ride i think.....

nosepickben · « **Reply #41 on:** July 26, 2009, 12:10 AM »

I had 2 of these, with the proper forks, the geometry was fairly decent, i broke them both in the same way, downtube came unstuck at headtube end and bent toptube. First one i razzed off a trick ramp in alvaston park (sorry dad) 2nd one was a not particularly heavy landing on some doubles at lochaber. It was '87 or '88 i think.
If i remember right. the forks had a bit of rake on them to compensate for the straight-thru dropouts

thecrooch · « **Reply #42 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:01 PM »

still just under £500 with 2 hours to go

and just for the frame, and they're not even that rare !

munners · « **Reply #44 on:** July 26, 2009, 08:10 PM »

Im gonna give my opinion.

Last year gen 1 rechromed were going for 1k.

This is NOS and probably 1 of only 3 to exist in this condition. I know it hasnt got forks but they can be got. I would rather have a NOS frame than NOS forks and no frame. Saying that i would rather have both.

However, i would say that a rechromed Gen 1 is £600 at the mo. If this can be bought for less that £800 then i think the buyer has got the deal of 2009.

As Duncan Ballantyne says. Im out.

I may be daft, but I'm not that daft ! I am happy that the funds are helping out on a very sad story, but that price !!!!
