New or Built by an addict...

So here's the question... with say c.£400 squid burning a hole in my pocket for a ss to show off on around town... are you better buying a new'un.... or a built-by-an-addict used bike.... ceteris paribus.... (assuming too that I'm too impatient/needy to build my own)....

All observations much appreciated!

p.s. I know what I'd rather do.....

what sort of addict? crack?

search OTP bikes - it sounds like you've already decided that you can't wait.

there are a fuck load of 'I've got this amount of money, what shall I buy' threads, I believe the answer is always the same. Buy what you want and not what a bunch of internet wierdos think you should buy.

I'd spend it on booze and loose women.......

£400 is quite a lot of money.

S/H you should expect something seriously, trouser leg-rubbing worthy.

New, you'd just about get a boring bottom end OTP like a plug.

£400 for the forks... well.. they wanted to 'show off'...

check out concorde astore for sale you can have that for £400;)

Sorry I thought he said £400,000

@ DFP Eggs-actly my point.... the last thing I want is something that my neighbour could have...... if you're a subscriber to LFG&SS... I kinda reckon you are almost required to end up with something 'different/cool/unique/awesome' [delete as appropriate]... or at least something to which my Mum would say.... "...are you sure you're not a bit old for that..." ;-)

@ andy P.... ta for the ref. to the concorde astore.... awesome.... **rushes off to the loo with lap top and filthy smile on face ** ... bike porn.....

are you sure your not a bit old for that shit i'm sounding like your mother

if you're a subscriber to LFG&SS... I kinda reckon you are almost required to end up with something 'different/cool/unique/awesome' [delete as appropriate] shit

You've not met my mother......... nothing wrong with being afraid of a 78 year old... remember, she's got nothing to lose! ;-)
