Last week he had it listed for $550...I'm predicting a trend of lower priced bikes flooding the market. Next week I'll bet it's almost free! Buzzy Out!

JW Jason Wickedly Tiki Socialite LBCTIKI Joined: Jan 01, 2008 Posts: 704	JW Jason Wickedly Posted posted on Thu, May 28, 2009 10:18 AM I agree...similar Dyno bicycles go for about $300, of course the TT bike is out of production and of course it's super cool. I saw a post on some internet forum (sorry, forgot to write it down) where some guy was willing to trade his TT bike for a Dyno Mooneyes bike..and I just happened to see a Mooneyes bike at a bike shop over the weekend. I'm going to have to go back and see how much it was, it might be worth it to buy it and make the trade.

If I did get one, I would probably have to hang mine on the wall too!

L leleliz Tiki Socialite NorCal Joined: Sep 02, 2008 Posts: 1982	L leleliz Posted posted on Wed, Jun 24, 2009 9:54 PM If you are only willing to spend a certain amount then maybe you should post that amount here. You were looking for the bike so you found it...but since they are collectible and not many were made you aren't going to be able to find it for super cheap very easily. Having a price point posted may be helpful to anyone that may want to sell you theirs. Just a thought!

Joined: May 03, 2007 Posts: 2065	1 1961surf Posted posted on Tue, Jul 28, 2009 11:17 AM Its what ever some one is willing to pay for it.This is an odd shaped board. Its actually a Lazer Zap shape that Peter Schroff and MCcoy surfboards experimented with in the 1980's.You would have been better off having a longboard as the canvas to have been airbrushed then this short board.You are de-railing Tiki phantoms thread. You should start your own thread with this board. [ Edited by: 1961surf 2009-07-28 11:20 ]
