NOS Frame Sets Question

(1/11) > >>

Gashead:
I'm lucky enough to have a couple of NOS frame sets and forks, however some don't have a headset in.

I have always deemed that if you put a bottom bracket in, then it's game over, but where do us 'collectors' / 'show & shiners' stand with sticking a headset in, does that then lower values or change the appeal of an untouched item.


I remember some frame and forks, Curtis for example came with a beartrap headset fitted.


Yes yes, I know their there for riding, but what's your thoughts folks.......

neil:
I'm of the opinion that as soon as any part is fitted its game over

Badbaldie:
NOS to me is in totally new in the wrapper .box.bag . If applicable .as soon as the item is un packaged . then it can only be called new unused old stock . However something with shelfware fading is often NOS but in poorer condition than something nuos.

stidds:
I would say Nick, that if the frameset comes to you from the manufacturer with a headset fitted at the factory, then it can be called NOS. 

If YOU fit a headset to a previously NOS frameset then it becomes New Unused Old Stock (NUOS  ;) )

pickle:
Agreed Sean  :daumenhoch:   is it NUOS?  or NBF?  (used)  ;)
