MikeWarner Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 I'm currently building up my first modern trials bike. In order to pay for it (as the other half wants me to save every penny for our wedding), I broke my old trials/XC GT Zaskar from 1993 for parts. Turns out I'm going to have quite a bit of cash left over. With 4.5hrs to go, my old wheels are selling for more than I paid for them in 1994! More than today's equivalent would be new!http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...em=230349268951A few other bits have exceed expectation with a few lagging waiting for last minute bids (Middleburn RS1s).I alreadey sold my cantilever brakes for £75 and an old Ringle bottle cage for £20.I guess some people want the retro stuff and will pay a lot to get it. I'm keeping my fingers cross.... lol.I've got plenty more retro bits to go on there, including the Zaskar frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fruitbat Posted June 21, 2009 Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 Not doing bad, as Christophe said thay are good parts, and unless I am mistaken I dont think you can get the ti hubs any more.I got a red one on my Cannondale in cellar doing nothing in great condition on an old school ceramic rim, makes me wanna sell it.Frooty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWarner Posted June 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2009 (edited) From memory, the front hub is 65g!!!Also - the Middleburns I am selling are around 90g lighter than their current model!Will be interesting to see how much I get for the unused 16 year old Onza Porcs Kevlar (pair) - still 7 days on those though.

JonMack Posted June 22, 2009 Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 My dad has a set of blue anodized Ti Glides on 217's on his '96 Zaskar downstairs he was loving it when I told him how much they were worth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeWarner Posted June 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2009 I can't really say that ever set of wheels like this will go for that amount. I was very lucky. I've seen similar wheels go for between £70-120. I was hoping for £120. I was very pleased when bidding got to £142, and blown away at £250. I really didn't expect £400 though.

Tomm Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 How much feedback does the buyer have?That's what I was wondering. Just make sure the money is definitely in before you send them - and obviously don't accept escrow or any of that crap. Mind you, there are a lot of idiots who will pay stupid money for that stuff.
