Whilst clearing out some old emails in my "My eBay" box this evening, I was shocked to realise that I've now been looking for a nos black Cal Lite frame pad for over a year now. I just can't believe that such an unspectacular item can be so damn hard to find, but I'll still spend 10 minutes on the bay every evening obsessively trying to find one. In fact, it's now developed into a semi grail-like quest...and the irony is that when I started looking it was a part that I wasn't really that fussed about. Does anyone else have that one elusive titbit they just cannot get hold of, no matter how much effort they put into it?
A factory blue Thruster fork.
A'me goggles... I have the GT strap... I just need the goggles..
Oh, and some decent first gen GT cruiser bars..
Oh, and a black GT stem pad
Oh, and gold or chrome 24" 7X's...
Oh and.... (damn this hobby)...LOL

Tange switchblade forks, they were hard to find back then and almost impossible now
Cheap old school stuff...for the GT's of course.
A cheap DY would work too as that is a bike I have lusted after for a long time. Finally sat on one at Rockford this year (thanks Teacher!).

Wheelie King - ave you found one in another colour?
Maybe you could dye another colour black.
Those pads are nylon so they should dye fine.
The Cal Lite logo should hold up if it has been screen printed on it white.
PS: are you the guy that was featured in UK BMX Action Bike doing the wheelies on the white Floval Flyer?
