Here comes the NOS topic.

In my opinion its NOS as its never been built and been in a shop all its life before it was bought. Never had a wheel in it!

Well, never expected a final price like that!

The winning bid came from the US....but it's all gone a bit quiet....I'll give it a few days, and then try and make contact again.

Just wanted to thank you guys again for allowing me to showcase some of Pete's stuff on here, I really think that has helped to generate the interest and the bids on this item...so cheers guys.

I spoke to Pete's mum last night, and she nearly fell off her chair - she was thinking that she wouldn't get that sort of money for the whole shed!

It's a real grey area isn't it

I believe that was once complete with forks - why else would you install a headset, absolutely no point doing that unless you had the forks $:-\$ Maybe BITD, someone broke a set of forks and the shop owner sold the forks that went with this frame to that guy.

I hope the winning bidder pays up

It never had forks, I was with Pete when he bought it from a bike store in Kent in the early nineties.
It was hanging on the wall, all dusty and unloved, next to a white TA.
It had no cups fitted at the time.
He bought it as a spare - hence the reason for fitting the headset and bottom bracket cups, but as he never broke his other two freestylers he never had the need to build it up any further....
Pete loved his freestyle, and the majority of his bikes were extremley well used - this just sat there, just in case, for all those years...
