big john Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Crikey with the 'Credit Crunch' will somone buy this???Cough Actually I mentioned it on here a few days ago and was conversing, let's say with Caroline about it. The thread was removed as the 'moderators' thought I was peddling it on here, because of the wording of the thread. And the answer is no, before you ask Gizza5... I haven't bought it or negotiated to buy it, although Caz thought it would be nice to sell it to someone in Scotland, given the bike's winning history! Question is, how much did it cost to build with all those special parts on it, the Termignioni can is worth a fortune in itself!

cota kid Posted October 3, 2008 Report Share Posted October 3, 2008 Knowing how much people will spend to pimp up their montesa's, this will sell and what a bike to own. Anyone phoned up for a test ride? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04r1 Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 ...I must admit I saw this...! Trouble is who would buy it? You'd have to win all the time to justify the cost, and if you didn't, you'd be all the gear no idea...! I'm sure Doughie could beat most people riding my old 315R and letting them ride his works light as a feather special anyway. That's why I'm getting back into trials, the bike is important, but not as much as rider skill... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 (edited) 04r1, You have a point, I appreciate the cost is greater than a standard or even a Repsol Montesa. However, you have to consider if you wanted such a bike how much would it cost to build, it is by all accounts a factory bike, rarety comes into it! I have an ex-factory bike bought back in 1957, not many of them around now, but I have it. Not all that much better than the standard kit and again a factory rider could have still won on a standard bike. Anybody want to buy this piece of trials history, 50 years on?

atomant Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 04r1,Anybody want to buy this piece of trials history, 50 years on? Big John Wouldn't buy that 4RT if it was half the price.... but this one..... But you told me it wasn't for sale Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big john Posted October 5, 2008 Report Share Posted October 5, 2008 Correct Atom Ant, it is not for sale, I was just using it to make a point here! The sister bike to mine, OLH 721 won the 1954 SSDT (rider: Artie Ratcliffe). The TRW Montesa is Dabill's 2007 SSDT winning bike, in 50 years time someone, somewhere would want to have it, don't you think? Or am I just being a sentimental old duffer?
