Roberts Stratos

[sinnerman]

Its not worth anything really its just a crap old bike, an estay design thats fundamentally flawed, all renowned for snapping, its made of steel so will rust, its 30 years old too so its tired old hat.

And YET here we all are...........................................PMSL.

not as good as a dogs, they only made 12, and it seems no one values it.

Come on then FESS Up, which one of you gave the seller the info as has been suggested by others....?

(you gotta love this place).lol

Re: Re:

Just because it's rare doesn't mean it's worth over a grand, personally I see about £800 max but it''d have to be tidy.... plus I'm a tight Yorkshireman.

I agree. It’s currently the same money as a decent Dogs Bolx.

your going to have to scratch the Dogs Itch you know....!

Someone must have told him, it’s still at starting price because things go mad in last few mins bidding

They have have someone on here too, the ads been edited to add the info, as you say someone got there bid turned down then gave him the info i reckon.

Shame though, a rare bike still in one piece and could have been around here, lets hope it still does.

Nice bike but too pricey. Interesting for a few of us but clearly not hugely valuable I guess

Theres the Rub for the seller and perhaps the benefit for the buyer who ends up with it, (hopefully for sensible money).

The Masses would only consider it valuable if they had heard of it, this requires big budget advertising, Fat Chance for example, or a long production run, Bontrager for Example.

This has neither, and thats part of the attraction.

Be nice if it ended up here, would be nice if at the end of all this, we knew where all 12 where.
