Another rainy day = another unnecessary purchase, this time inspired by purchases on the previous page!

Don't laugh... I just won this on eBay, Peugeot 500SA Free Form. This continues my fetish for lower end French completes found on eBay France. She's nothing too special but has potential and that ugly duckling cool factor

I bought one in white then I ask the seller if he finds another to let me know. He replied he has quite a few so I now have a pair in white and a pair in pink. They are nos with quite a few marks, good for a rider build or two. I've always liked the look of these with the bolt jacket on. My Pug might end up with a set on.

I bought these a few weeks ago for my 86/87 GT street rider. At the painters now, neon yellow with pink AZ decals.

Chilli Rinse · « **Reply #3461 on:** November 17, 2020, 10:45 AM »

I thought I might as well get a set in blue too

Chuffed to grab these shelf worn Weinmann 801 calipers for the semi auto adjusters for 7 quid.

Ha Ha not exactly hitting it in my condition but have been putting a few laps in getting over second heart attack thought this would be the ideal exersize for me shocked at how much confidence i have lost my balance is well gone im squeezing the crap out of the back brake at moment but been enjoying it. loving the new bike as well just feels so solid unlike my old school bikes

OK, I think I got lucky with my last purchase of 2020. I was after a pair of white tech 4 levers, Lee Chi or other, and was considering buying a nos pair of DC tech 4 on the bay for 70 quid, I know mad, but I resisted. I could not believe my luck when this bundle was listed. Full 85 DC brake set in white for much less than the pair of levers I nearly bought.

Great bag mate, judging by current prices.....that set would have been 150 at least a few years ago love those white DC's with the black writing

Cheers Damo, the bloke also had proper CW double freestyle bars I just missed out on. They were 75 quid buy it now. I was checking the knurling pattern before I bought and went to buy and then they were gone. Gutted, but happy with what I bagged.

I was thinking about a 70's race build I have planned for around spring time. I done a few searches for parts I might use and bingo, one of them came up trumps. It took me to some random Canadian site, and I found these baby's... nos O.G.K Mach grips 68-15R. They are the colour I need and I discovered they are harder to find than the more common 68-15A version of the grip. I couldn't let the opportunity pass so I grabbed them at a steal of a price I reckon. Shipped for free so if I get hit at customs I'll be ok still.

For now, I will keep you guessing about what I'm building
