I have just secured a super deal on a 1983 'survivor' in beautiful condition. I shall not name the bike or the parts on it but, looking through the wanted section, I know most if not all the parts would be swallowed up by members on here.

The question is though, should I or should I not split it $:-\$

Only you can answer this Tel, its your bike.....

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #2 on:** September 18, 2011, 01:37 PM »

True Robbo but I only really need a certain part from it for something else

StellaAtoiz · « **Reply #3 on:** September 18, 2011, 01:54 PM »

If it's a nice survivor, it would be a pity to split it IMHO

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #4 on:** September 18, 2011, 01:58 PM »

It is yer but I only need the ........ from it

The rest, apart from the chainring, is original to the bike and in great condition to be honest.

I really need the ........ from it though and have no use for the rest $:-\$ It will just be sitting in my garage

If no response to this, I will prob just pass it on complete

What's wrong with splitting a bike now?

wildon · « **Reply #10 on:** September 18, 2011, 02:34 PM »

unless its something that is rare and desired as a complete survivor take what you need off it and split it. tell us what it is and we can decide for you

Taipan · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2011, 02:41 PM »

do what you want with it if its your bike?

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #12 on:** September 18, 2011, 03:13 PM »

Okay, well....It's an E.T and I just need the wheelset

glenboy · « **Reply #13 on:** September 18, 2011, 03:17 PM »

as said its yours to do what you will with but hardly anybody would split a survivor et to be honest , you can get the wheels easy elsewhere , i'd keep it and get the wheels elsewhere and if you sell the et's are one of the few bikes that go well as a complete

Dude, I have struggled to get Black speedlines with HF Suntours for a while now and no-one is giving them up. I can't even get the HF hubs except at ridiculously over-inflated prices

dordymush · « **Reply #15 on:** September 18, 2011, 03:26 PM »

lets see it then.
get some pictures up.

balladof32 · « **Reply #16 on:** September 18, 2011, 04:00 PM »

You mean these ??

As you can see, the hubs are not HF

balladof32 · « **Reply #18 on:** September 18, 2011, 04:35 PM »

yep must have been those...were they worth the price you paid ?

Gnarlyscoots · « **Reply #19 on:** September 18, 2011, 04:49 PM »

Defo worth what I paid for them

They are in really good condition for '83. Gonna have the sidewalls 'shiny sided' and touch up the little line around the hub

I just needed HF hubs really and no luck in trading these yet

balladof32 · « **Reply #20 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:23 PM »

ill take the hubs if youve no need for them

Betty · « **Reply #21 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:30 PM »

Try and sell it complete, shame to split a nice survivor....

It's your bike though so it's your call

sid1972 · « **Reply #22 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:31 PM »

if you are keeping both bikes - take the wheels off the et and put the set on it will the low flanges.

get the new build as you want it and wait for a while and the hf will come up to change them back.

best of both worlds..

Pooch · « **Reply #23 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:35 PM »

I'll have the f&f if you split!!?

brummie · « **Reply #24 on:** September 18, 2011, 05:37 PM »
