NOS parts - what have you all got?

[BlackCat]

Ever wondered just how much precious NOS stuff remains out there?

How about a quick RB census on what NOS goodies everyone has tucked away... In no particular order my stash contains:

1x 93/94 Clockwork STX (okay, it's been ridden about 3 times now)
1x 1996 Team Marin frame and forks
7x m737 STI units
2x Syncros Cattleheads
2x USE s/posts (silver / purple)
1x USE bars (black)
1 x Marin Titanium saddle
1 x LX pedals
1 x Controltech bars (purple)
2 x Controltech barends (purple / green)
1 x Onza Raw barends
2 x m737 chainsets
1 x 92ish LX chainset (forget serial number!)
1 x 92ish LX rear mech (as above)
1 x DX STI
1 pair Ritchey megabytes
1 pair z-max
1 x goldtec front hub (blue)
2 x WTB greaseguard headsets
1 pair m737 cantis
2 pairs LX cantis
2 pairs Onza HO cantis
1 pair Dia Compe PC 7

Probably some other stuff too, but that's all I can remember for now

What have you all got?

You bloody hoarder

Think the only NOS I have left at the moment is a Shark Fin. Everything else is fitted and being ridden

 

[Barneyballbags]

Haven't got any NOS stuff apart from the Controltech stem which I bought a week or so ago to fit onto a bike.

All my stuff gets ridden and not looked at

As it should be... imo..

All I have is a DX M651 headset ready for when the Kili frame is ready to rock'n'roll

 

[Chris]

Yeah come on,

Sell some of this stuff on so it can be used as intended

Same here, one LX (cant remember which exactly!) front mech which is on its 5th or so outing now. NOS looks good when you fit it, I couldnt leave it in a box unused. I am new to this though, so I can't promise that I wont get more NOS to use

NOS

Nope, no thanks - some people collect Kleins or pre-1990 rigs or whatever.. NOS is just my thing. Have a few mint frames lying around that will ultimately get built up with this stuff, but at the min I don't have enough NOS bits to build even a single one. Besides, my flat is so small my whole collection is locked up in storage

Opposite

I go the opposite way round

I buy stuff that's cosmetically challenged and put the effort in to making it look good again

NOS is a problem for me cos if something has survived so long in perfect unused condition it shouldn't be used in anger. IE shouldn't be used by me! I don't really want any show bikes or have the room for them anyway

I have NOS black ano Saracen by Weinmann rims on NOS DX hubs with NOS Ritchey Mega Bites on them, They look outstanding but I'll not really use them! Shame, probably won't sell them either cos they look lovely and I have a Saracen

Also got some NOS Deore LX shifters and levers but I got them cos they were a bargain, not cos of NOS-ness, they'll get installed on somethng
