I know it technically is not nos, but they are kind of NOS bikes now !

Post by: theRuler on September 29, 2005, 08:55 AM: fook nos

you can make an old frame look as good as new with a bit of hard work
nos dont count for shit once you have built it and ridden it once or twice

all "nos" means is no cleaning up to do.

nice to have new parts for a build, but sometimes pointless to skint yourself to save a bit of resto work (which is the best bit!)

I agree, but to it, you need space and tools, Man i live in an appartment and have no tools, my ability to do that sort of thing sucks,

I would love to be able to refurb parts,

It sucks having to pay for it - but thats just circimstances

Post by: theRuler on September 29, 2005, 10:21 AM: suppose so.
nitromorsing in the house aint a nice thing!!!

the main tool you need though is a jumbo pot of elbow grease!

it is satisfying to take a battered frame, strip it, repaint and re sticker it.
