its always the same 3 that go after the next victim...... :-X :-X :-X
and funny as they have all posted on this thread.. ??? ???
£500 is alot for a stem :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: what about earning money from the community...thought it wasnt allowed! :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
stick to SR stems they are cheaper and keep the sly comments and remarks to yourselves. Best for the community. :) :)

:LolLolLolLol: I think there is a huge difference between getting the true value for an item and making money from the community as you put it.
If I was that desperate to make money on the Hutch stem i wouldnt have had it sat in the box for 12 years. It says £32 on the header card. I it were your stem would you be selling it for £32 or what ever you bought it for years ago? I doubt it.
James/Donkey, you have just come across as an Ass! You stick to you're SR stems, maybe polish them up an punt them out for the true value, thats great. But there are people out there buying genuine NOS Hutch frame sets and maybe a polished SR stem wont do for that build. What do yo think? Those people could wait for the Repop Hutch stems to come out though, but maybe the repops arent good enough?
For the record i really liked Neils GHP, the colour was great, a nicely balanced build. It was a shame it had new school GHP type Star Bars on it though. Would have like to see SR beartrap pedals on it to and I can understand neil giving the Oakley 'O' Wing grips a miss at the price they go for, guess the same could be said for the star bars ???.
But hey i'm a purist and think that things should be right before finishing showing off a build. I also think at some of the prices that get put on restored bikes they should have the correct parts and those that price demands. Thats across the board!
Theres also a fine line as to whether or not something is restoreable if you want to just punt it out at the other end.

i think a few daft comments in the past had got peoples backs up (messing about or not) and its never been the same on here since.

neiljonarcus:
how come all my threads turn out this way :crazy2: :crazy2: :crazy2:
Jt:
its about common decency.
systematic rubbishing of someone just isnt on.
the fact its being denied makes it worse.
what neils reasons for doing stuff are, are down to him.
if poeple dont like it, then fair dinkum, free country, but to consistently try and put the man down, bitching about him doing stuff for money, weeks after trying to flog a fooking stem for a monkey is just bullshit.
i respect JJ, we dont see eye to eye on stuff, but hey, you cant please all the people all of the time.
but there is no need for the backdoor bullyingh thats going on.
it happened to munners, who love him or loathe him, got the same treatment, and ended up leaving..some say good ridance.
i can see this going the same way, and thats just fooking sad.
