Has anyone thought to email the seller...??? I bet he has already spent the money he thought he was getting for it..... :? could be worth an email..?....he now might take less....???
Also...., i have just re-read this thread, and the different views posted, ref its value, and why its coveted by so many of us...!!!
I sat back and thought.....name me one "other mountain bike" that is made buy hand, uses a complete campag groupset, and i mean everything.....full group, headset, pedals, seatpost, rims etc.....and then add to that..... it is a full "EUROPEAN" build,
No shimano No american boutique components, nothing japanese...at all...????...the bike came new specd with these tyres....!!!!
Then theres the fact, the tubeset is REYNOLDS 753,
This tube set, was the best there was, the range topper, and at this time... NEW to mountain bikes!!
And had only previously been used for lightweight road/track and time trial machines, the builder had to be certificated to use it, and it was hard and costly....!!!
I cant honestly think of one other bike that comibined all the above factors...??
To me i think this bike speaks for itself....and easily worth well over a grand, simply for all of the above...... :shock: :shock: :shock:
There are very few " BRITISH " bikes that i consider in the same regard as say a C26, the orange formula is one , and a campag equipped REYNOLDS 753 tubed Zinn is the other. The fact that this is in stunning condition, i rekon its less like a unicorn and more like a fire breathing dragon......sat on top of BIG BEN.......you wouldnt see that every day.....
.LMAO..... :shock:
