That last one looks like a Spondon frame not a Martek
what are the frames worth ????
That depends on which frame it is, and also whether someone really wants it or not. Personally I prefer Martek frames to the Spondons, I think they flow better than the Spondons, especially around the rear of the tank/seat area.
Spondon Frames used to go for around $10k. No idea what you can get them for now.
gia engineering are now making great frames
the guy used to work for spondon{20 years}
i think about 5k sterling for the kit.

We're did you even get the tube ?
People have asked around here in aus and we don't have anything even close
Glad to see you've joined ASF Mark. I've always loved your frames. I remember reading an article about Martek in Streetfighters many moons ago and remember being mightily impressed with your surgically clean workshop.
What you need to do now is emigrate over here to Oz and bring your wonderful frame building skills over here :D
You have to order it from overseas, every time I have needed anything even slightly out of the ordinary eg 7020 tubing I have do that.
