Re:

You shoukd get more splitting. As a package, and its tough to predict these days, anything between 80 and 150 on a good day. The FM is the lower end of the frame spectrum so there are a lot of them.

Re:

It's interesting to hear different views. My local bike shop (also into retro) valued mine between £250 to £350 which I thought was a tad generous. There are a lot of FM's but not that many before '96. The better frames were on the Explosif, Kilauea, Hot, Kula and Hei Hei for sure. Maybe my price of £295 ono is unrealistic : /

Re:

Just my 2 pence but yes, its very optimistic. 295 is Kilauea/Explosif territory.

I've tweaked the price. Let's see what happens.
