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 ๐Ÿ˜‰

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

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. ๐Ÿ™‚
