Today I bought, or it got delivered, or I fitted...
Chilli Rinse:
Paid for an early SR MS-200 stem this evening. They are the double stems that were found on some grifters. I think the later version had bolts that threaded into the stem base, this one is the chunky version with a bolt and nut system. This might end up on the Apollo if it looks better than the Alps stem on it at the moment. For less than a score, I couldn't resist.

I'll admit, I ain't bought shit in a very long time.
Had an almighty bust up over it all recently and really figured I was 100% finished with it.
Dragged the Eastern and the Four up into the loft a few weeks ago after said bust up and left it looking like a dump.
Today tho I got bored. Decided to get up there and at least make it tidy. Put the Eastern and Four back together and had a huge tidy up and sort out. Found my red NOS Primos and the Ti axle that were on the Pork until I found the SNAFU set. Decided that I wanted them on the Fatboy, which has had crank problems since day one. Long story, but fat thin chainrings don't work on a BMX and I could not find one in the correct BCD to fix it. So after much pissing around I just left it.
Problem is I needed a 22mm BB. This is not a huge problem until you figure out that the parts to put one onto the bike are going to run at least ?60. What I wanted was this. I already have the euro adapter in there.
Then this popped up for a tenner.
Satan's BMX want sixty pounds for it.
SDF:
I've had some bits delivered, but gave up posting pics when the good app went down. Posting on Instagram now SDFCLASSIC.

If you have access to a PC or laptop Imgur is awesome. Problem is you can't use it the same way on a phone or tablet. Shame.
So I bought something else. Something, tbh? pretty darn rare. Not by its form. I mean, I already have one in copper.
So the Fatboy is getting the red NOS Primo powerbites and the ti axle. Problem is I don't have a sprocket, and the one on there is all wrong.
And yeah, it is on the wrong side. Still pissed about that :LolLolLolLol: That is why I wanted to sort it. Problem is finding the right sprocket for the bike has been hard. Satan now wants ?100 for a Profile. twat. I searched all day yesterday, fruitlessly.
And then today this came up.
NOS. 36t. Now you may be thinking "Well that will look shit on the Fatboy". Aye, aye it probably would. However, that isn't why I jumped on it with both feet. This is.
Any collector knows that stuff in dark green anno is beyong rocking horse poop. I thought I had had my share of luck finding not only that NOS dark green Proper brake but also the Profile stem. Seems not. It is the same size too, so minimal effing around needed. The Fatboy will then get the Profile.
Midschoolfool:
Right. See that floor in the loft?
See that shitty block wall?
I should have done it a long, long time ago.
