Forks, mostly of the bouncy variety...
...far more than I have bikes to potentially fit them to! :facepalm:

Handlebars, of every colour imaginable :facepalm:
The thing is though, I see it as an investment, many retro parts aren't going to lose too much value, in fact they may gain in value slightly, so it's just stored up capital that can be released by selling the items on again.... or at least that's what I keep telling myself when I buy yet another retro item I have no immediate use for :roll: :facepalm:

In my opinion the Retrobike illness has led members to believe they accidentally hoarded mass amounts of retro components by mistake.
For example, keeping redundant NOS components just in case the installed one wears out.
Not likely for members that own many bikes.
It's no accident.. Lol ;-)

"Plus I guarantee that as soon as I sell some bit I will end up needing it for my next project."
