if its nos when i bought it and i want to move it on i will say, ex nos, and detail what use its had since as i think these parts need differentiating from 25 year old used parts even if in excellent condition, nice to know that ritchey seat has only had 30mins of bottom on it for instance, not one in similar excellent cond thats had lots of sweaty bums on it . bit of an
idiom but i dont know how else to describe it.

I wouldn't pay a premium for something that is nos without knowing the condition of it too. I had a nos Turbo Lycra saddle but the glue had dried up over the years so the lycra covering was loose, meaning some work was required to get it looking mint.
 
Which one is NOS?

Well, what do you expect?

An honest description and a decent photo' then let any potential buyer make up their own mind; otherwise you may as well get yourself a job as an (Ahem!) Estate Agent... ;)

Not at all, it was a generalisation...

...but there's still no such thing as 'Ex NOS...'

Unless you want to change change your User Name to 'Del Boy?' :LOL:
