    Gavin, I thought you meant 'over a grand'. !!!!!!!!!!!

    But why so, anyway? Granted, I've never seen a pair before, but why?

    I still think over a grand, and certainly off to Japan or the US. Even in non-mint these are probably the 2nd rarest UK made lightweight bike part (honours going to the Constrictor 'looped spoke' hub)

    I often wonder why people do not reflect upon WHY such stuff was/is rare. Often, I suspect, because it was grossly over-priced and/or performed poorly at the time, compared with contemporary offerings.

    Rare does not equal good!

    172 quids to a buyer whose only criterion seems to be "if it's ludicrously over-priced and over-hyped, I WILL buy it!" Wonder what I can interest him in....
