Most Expensive Retro Build Spec Possible.. Theoretically !

[Haaland]

I've seen CK/WTB mint headset for $950, and a set of Paul fd/rd for €1200,- Both were sold quite fast...

All black XT thumbies is pretty expensive, but not crazy. I guess the most expensive I've seen is a NOS XTR m900 with grafton perches. €500 or so, if I don't remember wrong

The IRD seat posts is more in the €150 bracket, 300 is a bit too much, I think.

Reproduction ones were selling on here for a lot more than that - I am presuming originals would be more than reproductions. Maybe that presumption is incorrect, but it's how I'd imagine things working!

BMX tyres don't count...

Re:

Not my bag, but wasn't someone selling a set of Shimano Airlines on here fairly recently for about 1.5K...? No idea if they sold, but if so that would put them in the Pauls / WI / etc range...

26" BMX tires must count I'd say when they are 26" and were used back in the days on mtbs as well.

I have some retro air if required.

I'm going by the requirements of the OP - '85 would seem to late to me for those tyres...


Period correct parts - 10 yr stretch - Anything from 1985-1995. As for looks, too early to tell. A lot of the priciest parts look pretty good

Snakebellys were still -85, and a NOS set of IRC X1s would be ridiculously expensive...

 

[Haaland]

Shimano Airlines were -99 as far as I know, btw

Yep, I realised that almost as soon as I had posted it!

I would say grips would be Klein Instinct and bar ends maybe OnZa Ti or Mountain Goat Granola.
