Mid school "collecting"
ss1980:
i went through a 3 year 'collecting' stint from 2010-2013. collected all the parts/frames i couldn't afford and wanted at one time or another. the shit i drooled over in the catalogs. era would be '98 to 2004ish.
i came to my senses and sold mostly everything that i collected and put the money back into my riders. i do swap frames quite a bit still, but have a 1 in, 1 out rule. i kept some of the cool smaller parts though... barends, stems, seats.
i do have a barcode i rebuilt exactly the way it was in 2002. mainly for beer drinking nostalgia reasons... it sits and collect dust in the basement which is fine with me.

I have amassed a collection of mid-school Primo seats. I must have ten or so.
mattywatty:
I wouldn't call myself a collector, but I had a couple of cool gems at one point. Unfortunately they were all at my mom's house and she threw them out years ago. The two highlights were my old Angel of Death frame that I rode when I was 14, and one of Bob Scerbo's old Animal OG sprockets that was actually given to me by Grimaldo Duran in 2004 when I was 13. In hindsight, I wish I'd saved more of my old parts, especially my gray Primo Pentagon seat, original aluminum railed Primo Balance seat, original metal Cielincki pedals, and a few others that I can't think of right now.

So bad ass that a green box is in order. But since those rights have been stripped from us.... This will be your green box:

Found a Hoffman Super fork with peg bosses from my first bike.
