NOS Frame Sets Question
Gashead:
I hear you folks.......
I think what I'm saying is, should I want to display the items, either at MK or in my loft lol, do I fit a headset so the bloody things don't fall over - or leave as is !
pickle:
with you Nick they'll fall over anyway ;D
but personally for display i like to have a nice headset installed, just sets the frame set off :daumenhoch:

This is my thought 2 b honest . I have had 2 do it ::) but if u want 2 display it or build it hey ho. I have one the same and can't make my mind up either :tumbleweed:

My 2 pence worth
At the end of the day they are 30+ year old frames and really only good for a wobble around on certainly not up to modern riding
If its NOS then leave it as NOS, as a NOS frame/Part has as much aesthetic appeal as a complete build :daumenhoch:
I admire anyone who has the patience and dedication to build a bike, however there are loads of "UN-NOS" parts and frames out there to use :daumenhoch:
I have a few NOS parts that will never get built (not that I do build) I much prefer to see parts than complete builds as it reminds me of when I'd go on a Saturday to J.E James (LBS) and look at all the cool parts in the glass display case and occasionally afford to buy :smitten:
I collect old fishing tackle as well and I'd never dream of using any of that :idiot2: same applies for old BMX ;)
That Swan Guy:
I fit a headset to stop the forks rattling around in the headtube and reduce the likely hood of damage.
