it was NOS to you. it isn't to the person you sell it on to once it's built.What happens if the parts are never assembled in the factory, but just sit in the box, along with the frameset, unbuilt, for a couple of decades - only to be built by me, 30 years later? Cos I have one of those.
Yup, and we can talk ourselves into missing the relevance.
A NOS part might be technically unmolested, but it’s scratched to fck through years of disrespect.
An unused take-off might’ve been touched by a spanner once but there’s absolutely no impact whatsoever.
Notion vs Reality
it's all words, it makes no difference at all, but people like to chase a dream, so yer, let em. all I can say is NOS doesn't matter in my world.
