Author Topic: Whats the going rate for a MRD Badlander? (Read 1551 times)

Bfellows · « **on:** January 14, 2014, 05:46 PM »

I looking for a rough idea for current going rate as the whole fook up that is the Badlander is starting to leave a mildly bad taste that I can't be doing with.

I might sell as frame only with forks thrown in for show use only, or I might sort a set of landing gears, but not sure if I can be arsed. Or I might cut it up and make a hat stand......

Thank you
Bert

It was bought as a complete with the intention of being a rider......... That's why I'm titsed off with it. The forks wouldn't have lasted 5 minutes with my weight on them

no way I'd ever had known till I was eating gravel........

Did you buy it knowing it had issues Bertrand?

No, only found out about the forks when I swapped the stem out trying a different colour combo........ I can't cast aspersions without being 100%, buts It's the idiocy of not coming clean if they knew even though I made it fairly clear I wanted it as a rider. First bad landing I'd have squashed the old gentleman sausage at the very least........

I was offered a frame and forks for £550, but a few people said that was a bit over the top. Im going to try and get a yellow one for my next build but dont have the fundfs at the mo

A set of aero reflex forks are a good imitation ,they look near enough the same,are brazed,but don't have the cutout in the dropouts.

It's been discussed as an option

- fairly straight forward to mod the aero forks........ In an ideal world I'd de braze a set of forks for the steerer and re braze the MRD legs back on, but I don't have the gear anymore for serious restoration work. I'm just out of love with it.

If your not feeling it just sell it on and get something else you like instead

I remember when mine was the only one on the forum, and they were rare as rare can be!

Looking more than likely. Picking up a mark 2 vector in a couple of weeks then going to concentrate on finishing a few builds.

I've a pending dib dobs on it from a while back, but if things don't work out it'll be up for grabs.

Isn't funny how these are now desirable. I was at Romford in the early 90's on my chrome badlander and had the piss taken out of it. That prompted me to give it away and get an airmaster. I sold the airmaster for peanuts too! !

I'm probably completely wrong but I seem to remember the decals being different on my old mrd..I vaguely remember mine having a western theme to them. Forgive me if I'm way off its nearly 25 years ago.

yep too true as mrd badlanders were nothing back in the 90`s and sold for peanuts , seem there more pricey than haro now , what a funny world we live in lol
