That is sweet.

Can't help but wonder if this and that NOS Floval frame set are Juan bait, or if they would have appeared anyway. Not that it matters, but it just crossed my mind.

In any case, there's a few interesting items out there these days. I can't tell if the market is a little down because people are saving for the holidays or if the market is up because people are splurging anyway this time of year.

True doug. For some odd reason though I believe him. It was built indeed.

Awesome, rare frame /fork but the seller clearly has been smoking large quantites of crack cocaine and wishes to continue supporting that bad habit. Starting bid $2,500.00 ZERO BIDS. Why am I not surprised. Any takers here? :no:

That may be true but I'm not into building a bike so I can put it under glass & stare at it. I'm still in good enough shape & desire to ride the beast as it was meant to be ridden. I appreciate stuff like that from my youth but not something I'd spend that kind of cash on just to be able to say I have it. :deadhorse:

That is a steal!! If I didn't already own 2 I would be all over that!! You'd have to hold one to really appreciate them.

The last and rarest frame set made by one of the early high end companies of BMX. Kinda like the JMC Andy Patterson. IMHO

It was already said here but killer sweet frameset but a built frame is not NOS period. I am not knocking it's value to the right person but built once makes it not NOS period. NOS means never touched. Never built. Never used. I will never agree with the take that you build an NOS frame with NOS parts then it is still NOS. No it isn't. None of it is after it has been assembled.
