Looks good John! My favorite parts are the Snoopy valve caps! I currently have those same ones on my Black Shadow. Was it a full restore or only a deep cleaning?

I just freshened it up and changed some parts I had.. It's a lot lighter with the freewheel Tuffs and SR tubular cranks..  The Bebe blue factory paint cleaned up and is of good quality..  The chrome or paint finish on Predators is one of the best I've seen on 80s bikes..  The paint rubbed out nice and the metallic shows in the light..

He bought it either from Matty or someone that got it from Matty. They paid $750 now want $2500. After peeling the correct decals off. Let me get my wallet real quick.

Sorry dude, if I bought a king sting I would keep it, not trade it for a predator.

Been away a while... dude is trying to sell my old frame for $2500? What the hell is going on out there? I thought $750 was a  'no one would ever pay this' price

I told him I would give him $500 for just the frame. For some stupid reason he took the decals off.

Dear god, those were the hardest part to find. I annoyed every random Joe on ePay who had monster pads or axle nuts or whatever for sale for a couple years to find those. I suppose if he had a Tange Predator the sacrifice would be worth it but sheesh. If I recall correctly I paid $425 or $450 for the frame... it's back there in the archived Swap section somewhere so $500 seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I sure do wish he was reasonable. Because i would buy it in a heartbeat.

I’ve been thinking about selling my Tange Predator. When I priced my NOS Akisu one complete at $2500, several laughed. I parted the Akisu out last summer for over $3500. I wasn’t surprised…or laughing.

Yeah but yours was complete. This dude has lost his mind.lol He wants 2500 just for the frame and incorrect forks. After he took the og decals off. Prices are stupid now for no reason.
