    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?

    And Salt and Shake are still made by walkers, and taste no different IMO.

    Walkers own Smiths – hence the reason they don’t taste different, they’re not.

    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.
