Good old bankrupt bike spares on ebay are still churning out some stuff from their boss's old warehouse! Must be the biggest bloody warehouse ever as it takes them weeks to dig anything out lol   only downside is they find a pair of wheels and decide that its best to split the set to be fair to everyone? Uh?  :wtf:

That's only if they win one they have to bid silly money to secure the other.

There was loads years ago as said from skatepool and rude wheels etc.
Years ago you couldnt sell 901 brake sets they were £30 a set , green haro tyres were £25-30 a set nos .

There is still loadsa nos stuff out there. I am in the process of building the same bike twice and have used more nos items than last time, I got an ACS Stoker stem, Haro tyres, ACs levers, Skyway hot seat , Tuf neck ring and spider all nos. You just got to look out for it on here, on ebay and bmxmuseum.
Some people bought the stuff when it was cheap and are selling it now at big profit. The problem is some peoples definition of nos is different to others. A lot of 'nos' parts have usually been fitted to umpteen show builds. Some although never used may have signs of 'shelf wear' (makes me laugh that one) or storage marks. Even if parts are nos they may still have signs of degradation, after all most are 30ish years old......you pays your money, you takes your choice!
You got to be prepared to pay a premium for truly nos parts as demand is high, and they will only get rarer
