    Clear Klein Instinct grips.... are these legit or repro? Does it matter?

    and yes I do store my bikes in cool dark places. My fat chance for instance has only been in the sun three times, that I'm aware of, and one of them was to move it to the tent for the show at Malverns.

    Clear Klein Instinct grips.... are these legit or repro? Does it matter?

    I mean, that is exactly how i store my retro stuff, some of its still in boxes, stored in cool dark places. So I'm never suprised to find mint stuff tucked away at the back of shops etc. But I think the fact they don't appear to have made them back in the day is the main give away they are...

    Clear Klein Instinct grips.... are these legit or repro? Does it matter?

    interesting thanks. I really thought they came in clear back in the day, I remember wanting a set, but maybe they were clear from another brand.

    love it, and only just noticed the valve cap details! The colour makes up for the mis-alignment in the photo ;)

    Clear Klein Instinct grips.... are these legit or repro? Does it matter?

    Afternoon all. I've listed these, but only when googling to get a date, did I realise you can now get repro ones. I bought these as part of a bike deal and I'm 99% they were originals on the bike from new. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/326115489911 Before people start bidding too much, does...

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    I didn't even think about that until someone asked for photos of the other side with less than a few hours to go, by which time I had no time to take any more or share them. Honestly, the deal with ebay generally seems to be, if someone asks a question they aren't going to buy it. And anyone...

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    there were close to 200 people watching it, and most people have ebay on their phones. It's not like the old days when you had to end when people were in front of a computer. It went for £1600 cos that's what it was worth today, that's how the market works.

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    yes, I've had that happen a few times. Once I set a massive, basically empty box to see if it worked and me and the buyer were both super happy :) I just sent him the bike seperately once ebay had paid out.

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    it was a long story, but importing a bike this way, allowed me to send one back to the US, tax and duty free, so essentially this bike didn't owe me the full amount paid, by quite a long way. But still the point that things are only worth what they sell for stands. So we'll see what this Salsa...

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    I'm a firm believer in things only really being worth what someone is prepared to pay for them. I know what I paid to build this bike, and I hope I get that back, but we'll see. Back in 2021 I paid US $2,175.00 for a Klein Rascal, that I wanted and imported as part of a bundle of stuff. ...

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    I think I was the first person to build them into wheels... no spoke marks or marking on the freehub. They are sooo nice

    91 Salsa A La Carte (Nukeproof / XT / M231 etc etc)

    My 1991 Salsa A La Carte is now up for sale, It's one many of you will know from this forum, so you'll know the history. I just can't justify having the bike collection I've got when it's having to be stored away out of sight. Hopefully it'll go to a good home. On ebay now, because I really...
