Either something no longer available or something that used to be cheap back in the day.

For me, I wish I bought a few flite titaniums back when mountain tamers used to knock them out 'cheap'

DT Swiss 36t star rachets before they rocketed in price, although that was just before I bought a 240 hub so it would have been unlikely.

These.
I killed a pair in a week of racing in shitty Easter weather, they stank to high heaven after a racing on roads washed with slurry, and they were the best shoes I've used.

The fist generation early 90's Dove's by chance yunki?, very decent mdma is still about if you now where to look but i'd avoid like the plague any so called e's these days. God bless our lord god and provider sasha shulgin, the man is a genius, you got "Phikal" and "Thikal" by any chance? - i wholeheartedly recommend them but you'll wish you had followed a career in chemistry after reading them.

Adidas Corundum boots, the best i've ever used, never got good test results because they looked like rugby boots(and thus probably never even got worn). Adidas Climawarm jerseys were excellent too, also discontinued when I found I liked them. Flite saddle? I have one in pretty good condition if anybody's interested, also have some of the original Yeti grips, but i'm keeping those.

Star Wars action figures.

Had loads when I was a kid but got an air rifle and used to use them as targets. A couple of mates (twins) both have a huge collection of original SW toys brand new, unopened.
Last valuation was over £35K IIRC 😯

Shimano R220 road shoes. Mine are looking very tatty but they are the best fitting, most comfortable shoes I have owned. The current version is only available in black and that is a massive no no on the road.

Muc-Off just jumped up by a £1.00 round our way since the last time I bought it! Must be to pay for these TV adverts I'm seeing during the TdF

Started buying in bulk now for a better price 🙁

For the Flite Ti lovers: I have a used but ok condition one that's in a box in my garage, last used maybe 6 years ago. I doubt I'll ever use it again.

Email in profile if anyone wants to make me an offer 😀 (I thought it wasn't worth selling!)

I've got 4-5 Flites in the shed. Mostly Trans Am ones with the "love" channel.

I wish Shimano still made RR mechs and flippy shifters. They were (and are in my world) ace.
