Okay so I've been really struggling to find nos or minty parts for my latest build.
Finding good anodised stuff is getting harder and harder to find.
I'm particularly struggling to get a headset right now so I was thinking if you could go back in time and were allowed to bring back one NOS part what would you choose ?
Completes aren't allowed or f and f! ( far too easy! :LolLolLolLol: )
What parts have you found really hard to get on your last or latest builds?
What would you get ?
Is it rarity or costs that dictate your choice ?
Just a bit of fun.... ;D

1.75 IRC racer 80x tyres
-
Orange Sharp grips
-
Some nice French threaded pedals
-
If i'm allowed, I'd pick some Bottema freestyle forks, but if I can't have them, i'd pick up a set of 401's, just for the allen keys!!

-
White Sharp grips and rarity not cost! :daumenhoch:
-
Grippa tyres in yellow :daumenhoch:
-
Some haro sport bars!! Because Dilybum and Benno have them all
-
Redline STR bars, the straight ones.
-
The Diamondback factory :LolLolLolLol:
-
Some haro sport bars!! Because Dilybum and Benno have them all
True story 8) :-*
-
original cheng shin snakebellies. A 1.75 wasn't easy to find, but some diamond geezer sorted me out with one ;)
-
Complete set of first gen Loopy Quadangle pads. In all the years I've been hunting SE stuff I've never landed a complete set.
-
Nice set of black Comp 2's :tumbleweed:
-
SE Floval Flyer Crusier bars
-
Nice set of black Comp 2's :tumbleweed:
My thoughts exactly! Failing that, some Laser bars!!
-
2 of 20 x 1.75 2nd generation blue/green label mitsuboshi comp 3 tyres
-
Some great replies dudes so far ... I guessed there would be a lot of tyres and grips but people haven't always gone for the obvious choices :daumenhoch:
Ash I'm surprised by this mate but I've been looking for several Haro pads for years unsuccessfully so I totally get the rarity of these babies.
I'm going to plump for a gold Hadley bottom bracket ..... It is one of several rocking horse parts that makes a Bob Haro replica incredibly hard to complete.
I've only ever seen one for sale and that was in chrome!
I think it was Rich Devilock's.
-
I would love some of the Campagnolo BMX pedals. Very similar to the road bike pedals but with a cage that goes all the way round the axle.
I know you said no completes but I am still yet to see a single Pedler Mudcruncher which I had bitd. I know Phil Sawzall has been searching for one for ages as well.
-
red comp 2s
-
A shit load of comp 2`s then I could sell them to you lot for £200 a pop. ( only joking } I loved them I carried on using them when comp 3`s came out.
-
A bloody haro 89 bash plate to finish this build .. ::)
-
Sensibly-priced round-logo stamped '83 GT-Pro bars. Nothing special, I just loved them and had a set BITD :smitten:
I'd tell myself to buy shares in Microsoft and Facebook while I was there of course :2funny:
-
For sentimental reasons my old race wheels: White 7L on white GT racelace :smitten:
For financial reasons: A box full of Elina Lightning Bolts :whistle:
For 'I can't find it for my build' reasons: Red GT seat and tyres :coolsmiley:
Sent from 8,000 miles south!
-
I'd just make sure I kept my old bikes instead of giving them away.
Favourite part of mine I bought were my black Z-rims and ACS hubs. If it had to be a part I'd probably get me some of them.
-
Some Turbo cranks. I have most makes of 3 piece cranks but not these. :'(
-
nos hutch trickstar or my old one back in the day that was red
tioga compact disk`s as rare to find
my old mongoose hooligan that was stolen with araya wheels with gt hubs
the aerospeeds that i should have bought for 50 quid but gave them back to aju bubu instead as i was skint
-
Always wanted a pair of Action zone bars
-
Pick me up a few sets of hubs please....MXR, Sheriffs, Phils, SST's, some fat/thin Comp IV's and III's, a bunch of Oakley grips and a couple of ESP stems while your there ;-)
-
Always wanted a pair of Action zone bars
Action zone bars for me too, and I'd grab myself a mudmachine hoody too while I was at it! :daumenhoch:
-
either a pair of 1st gen skyway graphites or uni hammerhead.
been lucky enough to have a few of each in recent years, but always ended up selling them on :uglystupid2:
:)
