I melted a pair of nos MX 1000 (white 1s)

Put them in oven pride ,
Forgot about them till the next day  :-\ ,
They had not lost the paint but turned into a pile of mush ,
didn't think to just trade with someone who had decent silver 1s  :-[
Wasn't too gutted at the time ,but i am now i see how much they keep going for  :'(

dan dude, i stripped the hutch H stem and crushed a nice set of early robo bars in one fair swoop that day, ive also stripped countless axle threads but this has been remedied by the discovery of decent chain tensioners, also popped wedges through forks in the past or stripped/snapped off stem bolts by over tightening, all this over tightening and i only ever put pedals on using my fingers as these are the only things ive ever had trouble getting off in the past the other parts just jemmy off a dream. 

tighten till ya hear a squeaky creak n ye know its ready to be ridden :daumenhoch:.
