I've been hanging on for a gold stem to come up for sale but there doesn't seem any about. There is however a gold kusuki stem on ebay. Anyone know whether these are reasonable mid 80's stems, or should I hang on longer for a suntour or the likes.

Cheers F.S.

Oh, pps, I've been looking for a gold headset as well. I've seen every colour but gold. Are these rare as well?

kusuki stems are pretty cheap me thinks , £ 20 ish as for gold headsets they will cost a lot more as they are pretty rare.

Well that sounds about right. Try and build a reasonably priced bmx and happen to like the most expensive and rare parts without knowing it.

Might be cheaper to buy all silver bits and hire one of those gold electroplate kit things then do your full bike? There was a full set of gold bits on ebay. It was all ruption stuff so not old school but im sure it had a full headset and bottom bracket on there if its still there.

Yes I just checked and its at £30 with no bids and 8 hours to go

When I said gold I didn't mean real gold.
