It's an expensive hobby,  I have not been around long compared to most but I believe I am lucky to be around realistic and grounded members on here who have been kind enough to ask a fair and reasonable price for parts and also at times hung on for me to get the funds together to buy those parts, I would also like to think I too have passed that good will onto others when I have sold parts and would extend that to anyone on here.

I enjoy this hobbie and have a fair to middling collection of bikes, not all the parts are NOS or I fact mega bucks but there right for me and that's my choice.

It's what you make off it, you sell to buy a good friend told me, trouble is I rarely sell  ???

Don't get me wrong i'm not moaning about anyone on RAD , This is a fair place to buy items and from what I have experienced peeps are also good at describing items accurately on here  but mongoose parts aren't always easy to find in the UK.
I bought a set of bars from the states a while back and they were bent, after paying £110 for them I was pretty p#ssed

Here's a link snoopy.  :daumenhoch:

£252 for a seat post is taking the piss but that doesn't mean it's the going rate. It all depends on what you're willing to pay... if it's too expensive just move on and wait for the next one to come along.  :daumenhoch: 
There's always some fooker out there trying to screw every fooker else ... that's life i suppose.  ???

At his rates, it would cost 5 grand to build a supergoose :coolsmiley: thanks custard for putting up the link :daumenhoch:
Funny thing is, I know these parts are getting hard to find but for example a gold double clamp stem is making all the money and peeps are paying it, BITD I couldn't wait to remove it and replace it with a pro neck II because it was deemed ugly and heavy :LolLolLolLol:
I just bought a NOS mongoose stamped seat post clamp  ::) for £78 so I probably want my head testing anyway

Your right mate,  it's outside here were it gets daft,  I just look at these adverts and prices and laugh at these star Gazers,  there is one Born everyday....  :LolLolLolLol:

I wouldn't give it the time of day, I put it into a context, of small minority of lunatic's that you simply cannot take seriously.

In fact there it is bingo, The title of a new thread....

An Extraordinary Minority of Star Gazing Lunatics.

Anyone want to get it started feel free...
