Still isn't NOS though is it, NOS means NEW OLD SCHOOL, if its been tampered / restored with its just an old school part, not NOS like it says in your listing. The word NOS gets used too much nowadays and is too misleading. Sorry thought i'd mention it...

Opps yeah I was multi-tasking and that's dangerous for me LOL - yep New old stock...

Agree I think Sparky was more than polite in his first message to be fair, he is the man to go to regarding Diamond Back bmx.

NOS = before being fitting to show pony or carpet queen ..

its nos according to your listing 'Please not that I have removed the red paint from the top plate and given it'

Juju · « **Reply #36 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:44 PM »

If it had still been red I might have been interested.

Anyone can "polish" off a good original finish Lee, it's finding NOS stuff in the hard to get colours that adds value. You effectively vandalised a part for no good reason. Why?

Perhaps you could paint it back to NOS?

bobbbbsy · « **Reply #37 on:** June 28, 2012, 07:46 PM »

maybe a tin of original db paint is on bmxmuseum somewhere !!

If you want it in Red it can be available again, nothing that a £3.99 rattle can won't easily sort out
anyway it looked shit in red! it looks cool now
Its 'NOS' Not original spec

I sell white SR stems and they were mostly black

I don't see how a wrongly advertised auction on Ebay, then coming on here and calling a member an idiot is having a laugh. It reads like you were looking for some sympathy but got found out, it's backfired and now you're back tracking.

Can I take it that the stem was one purchased from Ebay member 'radb1ke', you gave it a little hand shuffle and stuck a nice price hike BIN on it to see if some unsuspecting person would buy it.

If you're old enough to use Ebay, grow up and take the criticism rather than running off to a forum like a child would to their mother.

I must say a lot of the fun of this hobby has not gone, to many people are in it just trying to rip people off & make a quick £££££.

Sparky is right & you have been found out, so why not hold your hands up & apologise
