If you can get it for £100 I think you'll be laughing !!
(I could be talking bollocks though !)
I think in that condition the wheels or the deck on their own would fetch a mint !

At a guess on US fleagay you'd be looking in the $800-1000 range
Unless someone really wants it then????????
Did you try Art Of Skateboarding may have some rough guides
Offer 'em a couple $100 & run

You know what I just checked my bank account I'll give him 300 (pounds) inc. shipping

Fucking hell.

Sims Taperkick, looks like a 29", mint to by the look of it.
Bennett Hijacker's with plastic baseplates, if they are in minty condition (i.e. no cracks around the fixing holes) then they alone are worth a fortune.
Sims Bowlriders that look like they've never been ridden.

(AW)

Worth?

Lots to the right person.

That set up in that condition - A LOT OF MONEY!

If that went to e-bay I reckon $500+ easy and quite possibly a lot more.

That is about as mint as they come.

I just looked at the auction. The seller is Loz. Ian's (YellowSierra's) mate.

Used to do the Skaterham private sessions with us and occasionally turns up to other jams.

He is one of the biggest collectors of "oldschool" gear in this country.

Loz if definately one of the good guys and very generous.

He was riding an original old school set up at Dartford, this young kid had tried it a few times over a couple of weeks and loved it. When Loz went home that day he gave it to him. Never seen such a stoked kid at a skatepark. As Loz said at the time, "well I've had fun on it, it's someone elses turn now"

Oh yeah, he also taught me to drop in.

^^^ :lol: I'd forgotten that, yeah, it was little Jack. He was mega stoked. Still skates it on occasions. He rips at mini ramp now too.

Little git.

And he's funny.

Weren't most of the wheels slow ?
That's what made kryps so astonishing when they came on the market , they were bloody fast !!
My first upgrade from a set of mini stokers was fitting a set of 2nd hand speed kings and they seemed like F1 :lol:
I'm watching a set of wheels on Ebay at the Mo. I think they might be speed kings , if they stay cheap enough I might get them --- ooops !! :oops:
