Old school items....

[Gnarlyscoots]

Right guys, here's the score. I am looking for all your advice on this one as basically I just don't have the man hours to go trapesing around the net anymore due to 2 little madames giving me the run around   

With the near complete sale of my Haro, paypal credits are available for a 'unique', not often seen build coming along for my final jigsaw piece (as long as it comes off) and I need some 'unique' items for it.

I would like to know from you guys what parts were available between 1st Jan 1982 - 31st Dec 1984. I know the usual stuff like MX1000's, MX900's Tech 3's and the like but I am after things like, Elina UL chequered laybacks, SR stamed seat posts, you know the things, things that were not the norm.....

Hope you get my drift and can come up with some great items for my inspiration.

Not the norm Terry because no cooont wanted em    



Just because they wern't  widely popular ,,,,, doesn't make them cool    



But hey different strokes ,for different folks      


I suppose your  problem is choosing parts "not run of the mill" that aren't then in the "exotica rare and pricey " bracket 


Less common stuff used on builds I like

Early Weinmann brakes ,Lester mags , Tioga task force cranks,SR Aero-X stem,,,,,,

[kungfunky]

Ohh so if it's working on a bidget delete my little list then  as those are far from cheap but if you want unique 



Early Weinmann brakes you say C  great choice and I use them a lot, well the pre 80 ones. Lesters are nice but I like the ACS Strokers more

You just just reminded me ,, ACS Stoker seats    not seen much at all  , but nice looking piece

I think he probably did use one but not for how it was intended and ended his TV carreer  

He had a colourful private life which involved taking cocaine and wearing lingerie at sex parties

At least you did'nt think I was talking about Mike

Yeah I was watching it and was tempted for a start but then it went daft, don't think you'll see another NOS one anytime soon though.
One of those JT painters hats popped up on the museum a few weeks ago, was pretty cool and went in a flash. Hear what your saying about "that will do" parts
