rarest s&m part?

[kev-s]

what do you think the rarest s&m part is (not including frames) i know the menstral fork/stem combo and prince alberts are rare but they do turn up now and again

how about the s&m peice o pipe seat post, ive never seen one, only in ads

[keep it lit!]

easy .... fookin chrome xlt race forks   




 

[JT71]

are there any parts Alex doesn't have?

he'd know what's rare for sure. 

[SaMAlex]

Id say the parts that are hard to find are:

Prince Albert cranks, all versions
Menstrual stems (the forks aint that hard to get)
C4 bars
Early Slam bars


Also, its not easy to get hold of:

1" threaded Pitchforks (not ditchforks)
1" shafted Redneck stems
Any of the older S&M seats.

i always think that frames with no 990 or canti mounts are hard to come by....

ive been looking for a dark blue haf for ages to.. they did do them but i cant find one anywhere....also i cant find the lowrider style decals anywhere

i had to buy a frame to try to replicate them...i'll be sending art work to del soon but figure i will wait for him to get back on his feet from his break up first.

some good replies, most of the items mentioned do come up now and again, what i wanna know is what is the real rare s&m parts, the kind of parts that you dont see or only ever see one of them like alex's white padset, the piece o pipe seatpost etc....


any rare chainrings, seat clamps?

as for rare decals i want a john holmes decal set, this is what my 93 holmes i bought brand new came with

what do the lowrider decals look like

Ive got a piece of pipe seatpost. Its just a thick bit of tube tho, nothing special.

I have got a late 90s chainring. I think its a 36 t and its got a bolt on half guard.

The John Holmes decals? Is that the ones with the tape measure running down the downtube? 

[thecaptain]

what about S&M forks, the pre pitchfork ones

[SaMAlex]

Ive just had a look through my photo bucket pics



I box for a shafted redneck stem





Old style race shirt





Chainring





John Holmes headtube decal

what about S&M forks, the pre pitchfork ones

And yes, its real hard to find pre pitch forks. I think there were 3 versions, maybe more.

Its cos of something to do with the heat treating. It means you have to polish them loads before chroming for them to come out well. The chroming wasnt as good as they wanted it so they stopped doing it.

[kev-s]

thats what im on about alex

have you got full pics of the john holmes decals?


saw a enduro stem on here or ebay quite recently, it had gyro tabs and enduro engraved on it too

that one might be a earlier version

[condor96]

what about the pegs they had? the s+m pure energy grind sticks or good cheap pegs or whatever they called them... i never see those

I ordered some XLT cruiser forks and wanted them in chrome, but word from S&M was as Alex is saying.  I had to settle for polished (though not that shiny apparently) and then clearcoated.  If I don't like what they look like I'll probably get em powdered.

ive got a  ltf in chrome.its already flakeing around BB and seat clamp and rear drop outs.not impressed with the chromeing job.

[kev-s]

chrome parts are not as good as they used to be, im pretty sure  its got something to do with the law being changed on what chemicals can be used and the downside to this is the chrome seems to flake/pit very easily

Anyone know if the TSG S&M helmets are rare? peepot with a huge S&M shield on top I'm guessing there not.
