What do you wish you had never got rid of?

[clunker]

Well at least I don’t feel quite as bad seeing some of the kit you guys have cleared out over the years :shock:

I still miss my Santa Cruz Superlight.

In anno orange,Sids,Crossmax, Middleburn,Hope well you know the rest.The bike that takes you a life time to get spot on and five minutes of madness to sell!
The funny thing is as soon as it went i felt empty. And three years away from it hasnt changed much.
You know what they say theres no fool like an old fool.
Well apart from an old fool that sells the best bouncy bike ever built!
And in my opinion the best single track bike in the known universe.

Oh well, thats life i guess.

Cheers,Al still hollow but in recovery

A Pre airflow Mk 1 Ford Lotus Cortina that I half restored in my late teens but sold to buy a Talbot Sunbeam rally car which I rolled into a ball first time out. It would be worth nearly as much as Jezzas collection now!

I traded a MINT set of Cook CBR cranks w/ Action Tec Ti rings for an expensive Onkyo CD player with a fellow rider. Stupid player crapped out 6 moths later. Never bought an Onkyo product ever since.

Oh yeah, regret selling a Fat Chance Yo Eddy and a Shock-A-Billy, though I can always find these on eBay if need be.

hmm

my M2 S-works -93 frame, my old light steelframe. threw away a couple of Manitou forks, the fact that I can't find the rest of my 94 xtr kit...

and that I had my XT thumbies in a box when gripshift became the new shit, and forgot were I put em!

would be cool to have my first 93 FS to...

For me my C16-R which was my first dream new build but swapped for a proflex beast!! :roll:

A mint Kona stinky that I brought while car racing about 6 years ago for a steal then never used it and sold it for next to nothing!!

Judging by the state of my shed I've still pretty much got everything I ever owned unless it actually broke or wore out (and most of that's still there too).

By the way:

MBUK Magazines 91-97 recycled during a house move in 2003

I've got 1990-2001 in the loft if you're desperate ;-)

Mountain Cycle Moho

There's one of those hanging up over my head. Small crack by one of the cable guides, though, which I'm pondering getting looked at by a clever welding man.

 

[South Bound]

Early 90s Pace fleece, crashed and loved.
My first KHS (still think it rode better than the Kona!
The RC35s I got for the Kona.
The negatives for my cycling pics from the 90s - all I have left are the little pics that I cut into a collage.
The Sugino chainset, XC Pro thumbies, XT rear mech and odds and ends I skipped before realising that the chainset was worth cleaning up, the thumbies I would want for another project and the rest might have subsidised some of my other spending.

Mainly I miss my Mint Sauce stickers, but found 'Thisiswhy' so can now get some made, but still no 'hovering helicopters of doubt', humpf.
