I'll start with a very lame battered Sram X9 rear mech, pretty sure than can be beaten easily!

I tend to sell anything of any value when I upgrade

Several pieces from "back in the day" from a company called X-Terra which never really made it off the ground. Including prototype carbon hubs and ting. Lovely. Must use them somehow.

Oh, and all manner of Ti bolts.

Shitloads, although I did have an attempt at selling a few bits earlier, when you have to sell stuff for peanuts in order to shift it, then I would rather keep the things just in case, well you never know do you?

So this is where all the old kit ends up, I thought it just swapped hands on the classifieds until it became retro and was passed round their board.

Most bling....Old Ti square taper BB 140g of useless metal
