Where are all the Rock Lobsters?

[retroJIM]

Hi all,

I really wanted a Rock Lobster back in the day and I'm considering tracking one down to restore. Does anyone have any pictures or links to share? I couldn't find a 'show me your Rock Lobsters topic'. So thought I'd ask.

I remember one in British Racing Green and featured in MBUK in the 90s but my memory is hazy on the details.

Cheers,

Jim

Shall I upset him spud?

 

[Retro Spud]

It would be rude - to NOT be offensive

 

[retroJIM]

Feel free to upset me, I am intrigued.

They go for silly money. I can never work out which is the one to look out for as there were so many derivatives of it.

Tbh 99% of them were made in the Far East and therefore really not worth big money

The brand name Rock Lobster has been mercilessly exploited over the years - if you fancy a read have a hop over to here and start with the official review and then some very informative comments from Sinnerman

That is quite upsetting, but I've seen worse. I'm also wondering where you found a steerer tube that long.

The fairy lights are a nice touch

An interesting read thanks, I'm looking forward to seeing your finished build.
