busa ash Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 No more spondon frames will ever be made so , at 5000 its got to be some one that wants it . And if it was back to looking like the bill hunter bike how much would it be worth then ? Quote Link to comment

Could be, the bike appeared in Bike magazine around 1983, I remember reading the article and being utterly gobsmacked, as much as Steve Burns is credited for his work Bill was first to build and run a spondon gsx turbo in my opinion 2 Quote Link to comment
kja.busa Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 It was certainly better in the early blue/white scheme than its pseudo-dragbike colours....... 2 Quote Link to comment
kja.busa Posted January 11, 2016 Share Posted January 11, 2016 Steve Burns 1100EG always looked well though too Quote Link to comment
