For me its the Hope XC headset, a great product that was ridiculously well sealed, the new one is very much less so, so why bother with a new version?
Luckily I have a few, so no need for tears just yet.
I'm sure I think of loads, but whats yours?

Bendicks Sporting and Military chocolate.
oh them brannigans bring back memories. when i was in the army the local boozer sold them and we had a bag of them and a plate on the pretence that we'd bought lunch so could stay in all sunday aft 😉
Brannigans Roast Beef & Mustard crisps

Not in my neck of the woods, they need to be in the original foil bags too.

Walkers own Smiths - hence the reason they don't taste different, they're not.
Shimano XT 8 speed shifters Shimano broke my heart when they stopped making them
Oh and Fish and Chips wrapped in newspaper not discontinued just not allowed any more
Cremola Foam
I didnt even know Walkers made them.
I've not seen them for years. I must be looking for the wrong coloured bag or somethng...
Bosco Pig skin bike gloves THE BEST gloves ever
I can tell the difference between walkers & Smiths salt & shake, walkers are softer, more of an oily taste, Smiths must have been cooked a little longer in a good old fashioned unhealthy oil which I'm immune to 😉
Original shape Flite ti saddle.
Original MK1 EBB Tinbred.
IIRC those Brannigan crips aren't the same as old. They certainly aren't in that thick paper/foil bag either. They were indeed the finest crips ever.
Proper Canandian made Syncros stems and seatposts.
Oh and original Flites can still be bought.
The old school Special K you had when you were 12 years old in the 80s if anyone remembers that.

Hope 5 bold hubs and discs (much prettier than IS 6 bolt)
etnies lo-cut 2 in navy and white. Best looking, most comfortable trainers evar
YES. I had a pair of these. I wore them until they fell to bits, which took years. The new etnies just aren't the same 🙁
Endura Mighty Mitts. Yes I know they still make a product bearing that name, but they're a poor imitation of the ones they used to do. I'm particularly fussy with mitts, and thought I'd finally found some that worked for me - grrrrrr!
Probably because they didn't ever actually make any of them 😉Continental Cross-Country 1.8s - the only tyre you ever need. Except that you can't get them any more.

Ta Rob - Ta, just not really VFM at that price (it would be if i was still on XTR Vs with ceramic pads) 8)
I second Conti XC and Etnie LoCut 2 in red and white, killed mine and couldn't find them again!!!
I been buying conti tyre since in the hope they've made them into something else! Explorers are the closest yet.
chrism, apologies, they were 1.9s. So, I'm not upset about the lack of Continental Cross Country 1.8s, but I really miss Continental Cross Country 1.9s. Better?
Oh, and thanks for that link, Gordymac.
Cheers for the links to the flite saddles.
£79.99! I winced at paying £45 for one kicking around my LBS last year, I'm pretty chuffed now 🙂
Axo Pony boots - The original purple and green
"Axo Pony boots - The original purple and green "
Whoa, FLASHBACK! they were good boots though, I had the first Nike Poohbars (SP)
This thread is turning into a checklist of my house contents 🙂
Continental Cross Country - still using 26x1.5 in the winter
Answer Flatfoots - still wearing mine from 1996
X-Lite Camlock - still got a front one, but bent the removable lever
Hypercracker - been using one up until I got a Hope ProII rear hub as it does not fit.
Flite Ti's - been using them since they first came out, preferably all black with no stictched logos. Currently Trans-Alpes on Rigid and CycloX
I'm feeling a lot older than my 32 years of actual living
I had two pairs of pony boots and then one pair of the mark two. I think my next shoes were 'naguba' (not sure of spelling)
To avoid hi-jacking the thread into a shoe fettish I also miss my Fir Impes rims. Rock solid
Yes, I have a FIR Impes rim snowflake spoked onto a purple Hope superlight hub hanging on my wall!!
I call it art, others don't
I had Nike Poobahs and think I tried Poobah II's but gave up getting them warrantied as the tread kept falling off the soles.
Pacers: the chewy mint with the juice inside.
splicer bars: rolled up Opal fruits in a bar.
and decent cycling shoes with a proper wooden midsole and a leather insole, none of this compressed cardboard shite, or spin bond synthetic.
Panracer duster v
White Onza Porcupine, just so that I can pull skids and leave white lines everywhere.
And the Flite, had a grey one, don't know what happened to it, they've gone up in price too, obviously, still remember I saved up and bought it in 1995 it was £55.
Ritchey SS tyres
UN72
The silver foil that they used to wrap kit-kats in. The new stuff is completly useless for making small animals from
'Cinnamon toast crunch' from Nesle - cinnamon Grahams are over cooked and don't have the delicious melt in the mouthness of the mighty crunch. I last saw them some years ago up north a while after i saw them down south - i stocked up but scoffed them all within the week.
IRC Mud Mads.
Nothing better.
Hite-Rite? check
ODI Tomacs? check
Avid Rollamajig? check
Flites? check check check
who said mud mads ? got a set in the shed used about ...twice !
I'll take'em! Ormondroyd at gmail dot com
And Rollmajigs! Gad, yes! I don't know why anyone *didn't* use them. Brilliant. My Indy Fab still proudly wears one.
Actually, do Avid still make SD5 levers? They're long gone from CRC. Brilliant things. Anything lighter (and more expensive) was too flexy. SD5s feel just right and I'm pretty sure they'll never get sloppy. My "must have" parts list starts with them (pulling Avid mechanicals of course)
