when you rode(or still do) , without being a parts snob what was the best feeling part you had?
for me i had some diamond back expert bars from surrey bmx, they felt right on every bike i put them on, i sold them so i could get some lavender ez copy bars(which snapped).

Back then it was when I got some DC Tech 3s, now, I love the feeling every time I ride my A'me Duals on my Renthals. :coolsmiley:

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

JMC Darrell Young bars, I had them on my race bike all through the 80's. The size and the geometry of them made the bike feel incredible.  :smitten: Totally different to any other bars.  :4_17_5:

My first wide handlebars, Diamond back pro bars from Alpine Sports. They made a huge difference to my racing.  :daumenhoch:

ESP stem. Cool quality stylish and well made. Can remember the day I bought it. Wanted one for ages. Way cooler than a Hutch stem.

Still got it now.

Tech 77 lever, GT profiles, 1" pitch forks, and Slam bars are the parts that just felt right to me.

Powerlite 4pc bars, I did a trade with some dude at play station park in the late 90's! Best bars ever and felt awesome, most of the union boys where riding them  at the time :daumenhoch:

From back in the day, as we were a large family and couldn't afford the luxury of expensive parts then, the best parts that I, or my mates ever had are original ODI mushoom grips  :smitten:  GT Pro bars. The best, most versatile bars ever made imo, Suntour XCII's (Beartraps), Elina flyte tech seat and tech 3 levers  :daumenhoch:

There were many small moments in my days riding BMX in my youth.

Getting my Mongoose Californian was the first, then getting some snide CWs (couldnt afford real ones) about a year later. Didnt bother me though as i thought they looked good and made the bike ride miles better. Happy days indeed.
