And was told if I did it would end in divorce !
Well done for trying
You're a better man than me...
It was worth a go !
I still think its a lot of money but it is special, they are rare and even tho it's my birthday next week, it was an outside chance that I'd be told "that's a good idea, I think you should buy that frame immediately"

I thought you just had it sent to your work Gio and then smuggled it into the garage! (like the rest of us :roll: )Coleman":3nwb0kml said:Giom6":3nwb0kml said:It's all in the wording.

I used to do exactly that. I work at home for myself now so unfortunately it ain't that easy :? I ways keep my fingers crossed the stuff turns up while she's out...then I hide it in the loft

Also my birthday on Monday but I'm definitely not man enough to even ask either
In my defence we don't have a garage and all the bikes live in what other people would class as 'the lounge' - so there's no hiding anything!

I agree.
MAX OR tubing dents if you look at it the wrong way; I've owned a few FB max OR tubed bikes; 2 out of 3 were dented, and the third dented after a time in my possession, as i do ride my bikes. So long as the dent is not creased or by a joint where it would affect the fillet brazing or weld, if should be fine.
Quality paint jobs are not cheap or easy to come by, and would still not be original.
If the conversion rates between the pound and dollar were not as bad as they are, I'd be tempted.

Just an observation, nothing more, but it's unusual to see someone from the US commenting (and favourably) on a British frame. I just assumed that you all thought that our bikes were like our teeth
I guess you can get a whole lot more for $1,150 + shipping and customs though

We do have a garage ! but to stop her going in I've told her there is a nest of spiders by the door !
It would be interesting to see exactly how many of our "home grown" frames have crossed the pond !
