You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Just been offered a vintage surfboard and the dilemma is what do I sell!
I have an original early/mid 80s Barry chick frame, Columbus tubing, in used but good condition. Chrome forks need a refurb. When I bought it I did some digging and found out that Barry chick frames were very well regarded, and it was my intention one day to make a super fixie from it... But this surfboard!
Anyone know what a chick frame might be worth?
P.s it must have been a top range bike when new as I bought it complete with full dura ace.
About £100 to £200?
This year I bought a Dave LLoyd 653 Concept 90 Frameset, that had a 'never been on the road' Bob Jackson respray and new chrome and DA headset. That was £250.
I also bought a rare E W Hannington frameset made from 531 Professional that needs a total respray and I paid £100.
Hope that helps.

£250 frameset
Cheers, that's around what I thought. But you would have to post that bottom pic, restored vintage steel looks so good. That's the dilemma, can't have it all!
At the end of the day the old saying that it's only worth what someone will pay for. Biggest problem with a lot of framesets is that if they need a respray and it's requires a real quality job you need to find a buyer that's willing to take that potentially big extra cost on as well as the purchase price.
