Think he'll be lucky to get a buy it now for the seatpost on his other items. By same token the buy it now for the NOS Powerwings seems fair.

Shame its been polished really , as ball burnished is the original finish it has obviously been polished out at some point , shame

Here's the question...

would you build it?

bodamus · « **Reply #5 on:** March 13, 2006, 06:55 PM »

I've got an NOS one there rubbish

Waxintaxin · « **Reply #6 on:** March 13, 2006, 08:01 PM »

Yep it would be built

i have to wonder at its nosness , the tech talk is stapled to the frame , not in the bag with the forks , it sure looks unbuilt IE dropouts and bottom bracket , but why polish out the ball burnish. spoils it for me

i'd ride it

FuNMoNsTeR · « **Reply #8 on:** March 14, 2006, 02:19 AM »

i would drill holes in it to make it lighter

ORB · « **Reply #9 on:** March 14, 2006, 10:06 AM »

i would paint it with tippex and write all over it with a biro.

I would stand it in the garden and grow runner beans on it

theRuler · « **Reply #11 on:** March 14, 2006, 03:14 PM »

i'd ride it until it broke
then hang it on the wall

Bob_Acid · « **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2006, 08:20 PM »

i'd use it to chisel out the tiles in the bathroom.

About as long in minutes as the ripper toptube is in inches

rippers arent that flimsy

mat hoffman rode one for a while. ok he broke it, but if it can stand up to even one of his riding sessions, then it will last a lifetime for me.

i've been riding mine for getting on for 4 years now, and i trust it fully.
