I've no idea where they are now, I saw a photo of the Ti-Code years ago but that's it I'm afraid,
I'm neither a collector or hoarder, I enjoy restoring and building stuff but still have the firm belief that they should be out there being seen by other folk and maybe even used, lining them up gathering dust in my attic always seemed a shame,
Daft prices is what drove me away from the Old/mid school scene, it started to seem like every forum thread was about "how much X is worth" and I couldn't see the fun in that,
Met a guy once that told me "I've being buying up all the old school BMX parts for the last few years, my plan is to hold the entire scene to ransom..."
I just thought he was a complete cunt, and a sad cunt at that.
I like the idea of the "Pseudo-survivor" they were always my favourites to see, keep it up!
It even occurred to me that building this Colnago was a bit hypocritical as I've spent a fair bit on it, but that said, I'd never have started the project had my son not taken his own life.
And even then, I'm only keeping it for a little while, when I'm gone it'll move on for someone else to enjoy.
