Are Dekerfs really this good?

[DKFan]

Agreed, nice but not particularly rare, like the later Brodie's which do turn up. A Dekerf road bike has turned up locally, now those are genuinely rare.

Oh I have to disagree - they’re pretty rare in any shape or size but bizarrely a few have cropped up recently on U.K. eBay.

"Dekerf hardtails are renowned throughout the world as works of complete perfection and are on the wish list of most cross country racers and trail riders."

FWIW my comment wasn't related to the quality of Dekerf, just the price they (used) to go for, which isn't Fat Chance, Mountain Goat or proper Klein money.

I live in Dekerf's backyard, the west coast of Canada, so I've seen plenty of his frames locally.
