What real value do they have now, I haven't ever really looked.
I've got one which I have had from new, it's been polished a bit and the stickers aren't original but in terms of marks on dropouts etc it's probably better than the one for sale.
I'm not looking to sell it was just wondering if I need to think about insuring it to be honest.

i would say a crap frame and forks = £300
                                          good    =  £400
                                           mint    =  £500
burnished/polished  mint             = £600
                             nos                 =£700 plus


unless anyone thinks differant....

Best I don't go riding about on it any more then !
It's a shame I didn't buy a proper set of Landing gear forks for it instead of the ARX ones I had originally. I always thought it was a shame to stick a set of chunky looking forks on a nice light frame, plus the ARX's were a fair bit cheaper at the time.

Just looked and that frame went for £800 !

Better not tell my other half as it's worth more than my car now.
