My mostest best set up (even though it looked a piece of sh*t) was

in about '93

Skyway TA frame painted ghastly British Leyland Beige

S&M pitchforks (unbreakable!)

Wilkerson airlines upside down stem (good stem but never wanted to come out again!)

Haro Kneesavers (after my Peregrine Q bars snapped and nearly killed me by impaling themselves in my chest!)

Pale blue Jive handles grips (they worked best when they were just about to wear through to the bars)

Generic £4.99 headset which was always 'hand tight'

GT Power series 3pc chromo cranks (they were bullet proof and never ever came loose)

Redline 42t Flight ring (that wasn't too keen on disasters on the mini ramp!)

Blue 9/16 Shimano DXs (they are still going strong)

Shocking pink Hutch chain (snapped more than any other chain i've ever owned!)

Peregrine Superpro 48's (what can I say about these....they went and went until they started going rusty!!!)

Black Tioga Comp Sts or ACS RL Edges (with 2 tyres on the rear and 100psi)

Odyyssey RX-5 lever (great little one finger lever with potts mod locking button)

Odyyssey Pitbull rear brake (with a bit of attention these work incredibly well)

Superlong generic brake cable (with POP Swatch strap as a cable holder)

Haro Double bolt seatclamp (a design classic)

Bully seatpost (it held my seat on and didnt bend)

Skyway Hotseat (went through a few of these until I realised that it was just a £5.00 Velo kids seat so I bought them instead!)

Big 'Defunct' sticker on the down tube and a 'Sheep' sticker onr the bars

Man, I loved that bike......it was always at the point of falling apart but it was fantastic to ride on mini ramp or street. I had to have the toptube welded a couple of times and was forever unbending the dropouts but it didn't matter

Oh, and it was an '04/84 model!

I just found these whilst checking out some midschool footage so I thought id share (there are a few parts different to the list so I reckon that this was an earlier incarnation!)
