Where have all the 'good' parts gone??

<< < (3/6) > >>

Gashead:
I think many parts are on built bikes these days, you just have to look at folks collections over the world.

And yes, a fair amount too in people's lock ups etc, ready for the next builds, sure your parts will surface.


Comment made by Hunterbubber is interesting, say you have a Leary, I would personally like to see that sold as a complete, however I would imagine there are collectors out there wanting individual parts and would love to see it broken.........tis a tough one eh!

brettypeeps:
The parts are still out there,  you just have to be patient. Every part I cave ever sold I needed back a sort time after so I try not to sell anything now unless I am sure I won't need it. I even keep all the 901s igavefor spares like the Weimar adjusters  :daumenhoch:

MartyC:
L hear you, been looking for a nos or minty Takagi 130bcd 44t chainring in black for ages and they just don't seem to be about must be over year now!

In2bmx:
The good stuff is getting harder to find .

 I don't hoard parts though , there all fitted to bikes.

I counted 10 pair of Redline flights yesterday  :-[ and they won't be coming up for sale anytime soon  :daumenhoch:

hunterdubber:
Point taken Nick , :daumenhoch:

I know nowhere  near as many people want to buy a "Complete" bike ,obviously because of the financial outlay  and more often than not the parts spec isn't  exactly to your liking  :-\

or if it's a replica/tribute build ,,the bike may not be 100% correct .  :(

In my case , the bikes were 100% right  8) and the potential buyers seemed really keen  :shocked: said  the price was justified and amicable . ???

Don't get me wrong, circumstances change , but it wasn't just one or two

I suppose  , personally to answer Terry's question
 Maybe people dont put things up for sale because they think it wont sell or have already offered it with no takers
