How much would a NOS Big Boy frame with supernatural AD990 forks and stem and flat bars be worth nowadays  ;)

Dingo

What I paid & what I reckon its worth is 2 different things  ;)

All I know is that I love building stuff thats a bit different ... even if that means 'adaption' ... the Riots weren't renown for 'strength' on the rear drop outs... but the big boy looks like a MKII Riot where they got it right ... but the Riot decals & graphics were loads better... so thats what I wana make  :daumenhoch:

Thats exactly what Big Boy's were, MK3 Riots. The only reason they weren't called WAL Riots any more is because Ron got divorced and his wife was trying to clean him out for the company. He changed the name etc for legal reasons but its all the same company and same evolution of products.  :daumenhoch:

Looking forward to seeing updated pics.  :D

I see what you are saying ... just been looking at pics and there was 2 versions of the Riot wasn't there... first one with a coaster anchor and no brake mounts ( MKI ), then they lost the coaster and added AD mounts ( MKII ) ... I never knew the reason behind the name change tho ... thanks for that  :daumenhoch: now I just have to resist the urge to get the decals on before I've done the work to make the bash guard fit  ::) I've been offering them up ... its tempting ...  >:D impatient fekker I am  ;D

 :) shame he couldn't make the bashguard fit a bit easier tho Jon  ::)

Ed,

As you know, i'm all about `your bike, your rules' but that is looking good, and its not a WAL, it is what it is. It is a 2hip Bigboy, it will always be that, and when, in a few years time, another RADSTER wants a Bigboy, and all he can find is your cast off `spazzed' up Riot looky-likey, it'll be a travesty.

Relax young Ed-I, the WAL will come, there are about 200 grown men now looking for one for you.

But if you want to make it into one, I'm still happy to go all `medieval' on its fat ass!!

An opinion is just that.

I like it
I even like the decals more than the riot ones, plus you get to sit on a big boy when you fancy a ride  :D

I'm a bit worried I may find myself agreeing with TFC, ah well I say there's a first I say there's a first time for everything
