Ooh, that's a great selection of bikes. Might be a bit tough bagging them all for £10k in anything other than scrap condition

That reads suspiciously like what's in your garage already Melvin...!

Mine would be along the lines of:

01 - Bontrager TiLite 1250
02 - Fat Ti 1750
03 - Merlin 'tbc' 1250
04 - Klein Rascal 750
05 - Zinn 'tbc' 750
06 - AMP B4 550
07 - Trimble 1200
08 - Bontrager RaceLite 750
09 - DOGS BOLX 1100
10 - Wiked Lite 650

I've done the pricing to presume decent frames and builds, with the understanding that certain items would be replaced over time - but they're pretty realistic I think.

 

[mk one]

My list, hard to decide and would probably change the more i thought about it, by which time i would have blown the money on other things...

1 Kona Hot Stars n Bars £1200
2 Kona Explosif '93 £400
3 San Andreas £1200
4 Merlin £1200
5 Dogs Bolx £1000
6 Amp B4 £750
7 Klein Attitude £1500
8 RM Altitude £750
9 Parkpre 925 £500
10 Proflex 856 £500

Prices are what i would like to pay, but prices on some can be a lot higher depending on NOSness :shock:

Re:

Depends on the specs of course but a pimped up FAT Ti leaves little change from £5k same as a blinged up Klein Adroit. Just did my cost breakdown but these iconic bikes are still amazing to ride and thats the point.

Current or BITD pricing?

Ha, good point. I was going for current pricing — various bikes I always fancied BITD can be had for a bargain now!

To be honest, I think it's even harder since the bikes I would like are almost impossible to price reliably. They are uber rare and there aren't any bench-marks or averages to go from. So, these really are guesses and open to significant variables such as frame only, full bike, conditions, etc.

'97 Kapu c£1,000
'97 Hot stars and bars c£1,000
'97 Ku purple flames or rasta flames c£1,000
'97 King Kahuna c£1,000
'98 Ku c£1,000+
'98 Hot c£1,000+
'99 Explosif c£750
'99 Kula c£750
'99 King Kahuna c£1,000
'00 Score c£1,500+

I know, I'd maybe have to find a couple of bargains here and there, but it all depends on condition and spec.
Also rans include Salsa A'la Carte, Ibis Mojo, WTB Phoenix and loads of others I can't be bothered to name.

I think we can all assume at least one car boot bargain!

Seeing everyone else's list is making me realise the ones I've missed. No Ritchey for a start :shock: What to lose though? Arrgggh...
