Stuff you own but daren't use?

My lungs, precious are they...

Stick it on a bike then ride and enjoy it. No sense in being a poncy garage queen.

NOS green skinwall wildgrippers. Purchased attached to a set of wheels I really wanted. Green won't suit any of my builds. Probably should sell them on really.

And of course last night I bought a really decent Kona Hahannah to do up and sell. But it's a nice bike.....!

The force is weak in this one, but he has potential.

First Kona he will buy. Learn the basics he shall.

Receptive is he, capacious garage he owns. ;-)

every time i buy any amber walls, the bike they get fitted too is never ridden. weird.

I had a mint stumpjumper from 1989 off another forum member, it was like new but I could never bring myself to ride it, even the ground controls were perfect,the previous owner had the same problem, so one year later I sold it on, maybe they will of broken it in!

I am still wanting, one day, to get a NOS set of white Porcs to use on a RetroBike ride. :-D

See now I'm worried. I've got NOS skin wall Tioga Psychos to go on my Explosif. I'm having second thoughts about those...

And I now have 3 Konas in the house. 1992 Cindercone ,1993 Explosif, 1995 Hahannah. Ohh. And. 1993 Marin Bear Valley frame set.

And a cupboard full of trick bits.

I have a few NOS things I’m unlikely to ever use. The following examples spring to mind but there are others I’ve probably forgotten.

Early 90s purple King front hub,
Kooka rainbow cranks,
M910 XTR seat post,
Pace chainrings,
3DV Ringle hubs,
etc etc
