whilst at my local bike shop today,i was perusing the work area (as i do),when i saw a pair of these 🙂

i remember seeing the ads for them back in the early 90’s.

have you also seen anything that you thought were obsolete nowadays (not meaning any offence to powergrips by the way 😉

Apparently, they still make those single pivot Orange frames.

PowerGrips have had a resurgence recently due to fakenger-fixie types.

ah 🙂

Gets all nostalgic

Gt’s/geared dropout inbreds yes the chainsucker version hehe etc etc oh yeah and oj’s hawai five

when i read the thread title i completely expected the 2nd post to say 26er wheels.
i was surprised it was further down tbh.

Found my DCD Daves Chain Device and a couple of boxed Cog Hogs in the shed 😮

Oh, and one of those Bullet Brothers chain devices!
Who remembers those?!

panaracer smoke and dart

I’ve just dug a box out of the garage during a clear up with 2 x DCD chain device, 1 bullet bros device, 1 x cog hog, 2 pair xt thumb shifters, onza bar ends and a gorilla brake booster. oh the memories!

I sold my old Bullet Bros chain device on eBay a couple of years ago – it raised a whole 99p…

Hs33’s still a winner in my book but look, ugly unless they are green frog model that is lol

I’ve just bought a NOS Bullet bros chain tensioner and it works better than my Blackspire Stinger chain device! So I’m going back to triple rings and keeping the BB tensioner on.

Lots of new things work better, but not all!

Blazin-saddles – care to let me know how much you want for that lot? Email me on rcatkin@gmail.com. 🙂

Bar ends!!
