Most of the bikes with the WAY oversized platforms and useless standing areas didn't last long because most everyone realized that wasn't the way to go.After maybe 1987, nobody was coming out with junk like that because it wasn't selling, because it wasn't practical. Most every bike with platforms either had a tasteful double top tube or a smallish GT/Hutch seattube platform. Those bikes are the ones that normally people talk about liking back in the day.
not sure but wouldnt let mine go for under £150 had this set a few years now.
