£11.74 for the top one and £6 for the bottom one, i'll give you £20 for both delivered for that ol' tat.

Retrobike prob the best route to getting sold.

I love that lavadome. I had a 98 version, sold it about 2 years ago...had yours been a smaller frame I might have been tempted... 🙂

Keep the faith brack. Until fairly recently had a similar bike to your Explosif (a '96 Kiluaea) and often surprised myself at how well it rode when I dusted it off and left my 5-Spot in the shed for some R&R. Sold it a while back, made some reasonable money but have missed it since. Mail me if you would like specifics.

I'm interested in the lavadome if you decide to sell it

Oh the faith us still alive. I ride my 96 Killy everyday ... It's been over the Himalayas, done most long routes. In the uk, malin to mizen, jogle, and still rides sweeeet.

Just need a clearout of bikes that tbh are slightly bigger than I like to ride now. I prefer an 18 /17.

That's a '94 Lavadome isn't it?
Looks remarkably like mine that I bought late '93.

The explosif will fetch good money on retrobike - I'd get over there and get them listed

Thanks for the replies... What price should I be asking?

not sure about price...but on RetroBike site there is a specific thread just for valuing stuff if your really unsure. Folk seem to prefer just buying frame only , and individual components so be prepared for that is you go down that route...personally I'd keep one of them for a 'rainy day' - nice bikes!

Have been offered £170 for the lava dome by a bloke from work ??? What do you think?

400 and 200 quid respectively I reckon would be top dollar for those two

I would happily take the 170 offer, no messing with postage and it does have newer parts on it which lowers the desirability quite a bit
