i have avoided this thread for 6 whole pages,
nos is not a difficult concept, if its not nos its not nos, those who says its nos when its not nos dont do themselves any favours , i lurve the nos, i lurve to denos the nos.
the one caveat i would add is as said i lurve the nos to use, i like it coz i then know the life that part has had.
a part kept in its oily bag or box fares better than one attached to a bike but then never used for 20 years i have found
so for certain parts, cassettes shifters etc, i very much like it when im told by a trusted member this was nos and i have done 50 miles or ridden round the block etc, heres my build thread type thing.
i have a bike to split soon where many are the parts are like this, denosed by me with minimal miles and i will describe them as such.
I do have a nos quandry however
I have a bonafide nos left hand m739 shifter. never used never mounted, I also have the nos internals from a right hand shifter, however the top part which consists of the clamp and the top metal cover is used but in very good condition and it is a non moving part.
so are my shifters Nos or not, and how should i describe them?
if ok to good condition m739s go for £35 to £40 how much should i ask for my nos or not shifters?
Im keeping them for the reasons above, so this is merely for fun and i do not wish to be directed to the how much is my xyz thread thank you very much.

I was going to say 'That's just a geeky way of saying you don't know whether you're coming or going' but decided that was just too niche a smart alec reply!

Surely "as near NOS as you can get", would in fact be NOS...?

I suspect this thread will live as long as eejuts abuse the term "NOS". It's just reflecting the reality of so many people taking the pith.
