ODI TOADSTOOL MUSHROOM TYPE GRIPS  advertised at £40 B.I.N.   I've just picked up the same from the states for £3.92 !!  warra con this is.

[simonm]

actually to rant more.. hes put NOS in the title, and are they NOS really NEW OLD STOCK ?  if so what manufacturer made them in the 80's ?

Masterplumber again  . Let's hope he knows more about plumbing than he does BMX  .

[JT71]

think toadstools were out late 80s, maybe 90's, so yeah they could be considered NOS.

[phantom photon]

I had a set of those a while ago - they were crap, nothing like real mushys 

[simonm]

The whole listing is misleading,

The header says, "ODI TOADSTOOL MUSHROOM TYPE GRIPS NOS OLD SCHOOL BMX"

And then in the body it says "NOS ODI TOAD STOOL GRIPS IN BLUE AS GOOD AS ORIGINAL MUSHROOM GRIPS AND VERY RARE IN BLUE"

So the body text doesnt include a reference to the fact that they are copies.

[meticulous]

and look how expensive all his other junk is...ffs   £150 for tyres, that cant be right...

So, you are Masterplumber I presume?

i bought some toadstool grips recently, and they looked like mid school grips, you now, a cylindrical shape all the way along, not bulged, and they were softish too, and odi.

maybe they are new.

are these grips like the cheap nasty hard mushy copies that I've sold about 100 pairs of on ebay?



or are they the actually mushy like ones, by Fuan, not as good as odis, but nbetter than the cheapo sh1te ones I have. 

[JT71]

these are what I thought toadstools were, maybe these are modern mtb versions.

I think you might be right, Sherlock, haro-master-plumber.

Before this thread gets outa hand, Paul (Masterplumber) has sold me numerous stuff on the Bay. He was selling me stuff long before we knew who we were on here, he also accepted alot of my offers before he knew me on here.
The Mushies Paul was selling were Odi ones but 86 onwards, not the earlier ones with the mushroom motif. To much mud slinging on here these days, Paul is a good guy and i can vouch for his selling as i buy most of it 

Lets get back to slating Biagio can we
