The RB what I bought/ found/scrounged this week thread pt.II

[FMJ]

2 questions: Hope actually made these? And why?

And a few more odds and ends.

 

[Woodyuk]

Nice look shoes any idea what year they are?

 

[FMJ]

Mid to late 90s would be my guess.

 

[Rampage]

Not ax impressive as an FMJ haul but I'm pretty happy with it:
Goldtec CNC cassette, total weight 142 grams!
NOS Tune titanium chainrings
NOS Aerozine chainring
Deore shifters
various NOS X-Lite parts

HOLY SHIT!!!!!!!

I would have sworn that this MF'er did not exist outside of the Hope Catalogue / product flyer I've had since 94!

Rare doesn't even come close!!!!

Btw I just remembered I need to sort you out for that chinguard!

I'll do it tomorrow!

I swear down FMJ is the luckiest guy in the world .

He is indeed

But ive come across a bike shoppe about to do a clear out of their storeroom and after 10 mins on the phone to the guy this morning i could have a foot in the door

A couple of early bits from him

1. Shimano spider and id say at a guess its an aftermarket spider for the xt,maybe xtr cranks. Got one but not in black
If anyone recognizes it,be appreciated.
2. Needs no description and yes im a lucky sod

Picked up the goldtec DH ring today to go with the XTR DH 4 arm spider for the m952. The pennies are going fast.

Wow, that 5 hole spider looks fantastically useful, I'd guess for fitting standard rings to M750 and M950 XT and XTR cranks.

Pickings in the shop are getting thin. Will probably be done till the spring when it's warmed up enough to get into the storage containers at the U-Store place around the corner.

New, but Park's been using the same design for ages, so it's retro.

And a box on the doorstep when I got home.

Was the last one from the shop?

Jwlinn on here is Jakes brother - assuming he has one if not more of these but cool none the less
