[Bushwacked]

... its been bugging me for ages...


 


what the hell is it?   

and why (from where I'm standing )do so many people pay silly money for NOS bike parts???

Nos is called Fools Gold, its for ppl who like to spend massive and moan about re sale value 

Stick to great condition and you wont be sad later 

Also Nos = Never been used on a bike.  New old stock

Thanks - been bugging me.

Defo Fools gold unless you are going to use it, but then ... well confusing... why not just buy new stock???

it refers to the 80's and maybe now 90s parts that are no longer made but are still in mint unused conditon, often still in their original packaging.

so it's old stock, but in new unused and never been on a bike condition not even rested on and lightly tightened to sit on carpet.

guess you don't do old school then Barnaby? nor me now, Mid School is where its at.

don't blame me for putting you off the Trick Star, you knew you didn't want it really.

it wasn't a Trick Star 2 was it? the ugliest BMX ever made.

I'm obviously new to this BMX lark - I don't really get the idea of building bikes just for show and not using them. Have I missed something ??

I've always been one for riding them.
