NOS Sugino stems in gold and red, Sugino GT cranks in red, Izumi slotted GT chain, Suntour XC-II pedals (1/2 inch)...wouldn't call this useless but probably don't need the parts anymore. Might consider trades or just save them for future builds. Plus I got so much used stuff just sitting here in boxes that I probably will never use....I need to have a garage sale

A Cook's team frame that I can't afford to buy Cook's components for!

NOS Uni Tailpipes. I bought them from Rockabillyjay a while back. I tried to sell em but I want too much money for them. lol. They sit on the shelf and are great conversation pieces.

I have this little NOS item. This stem cap did not come from a NOS stem. It is a service replacement piece that I got from one of my friends that owns a bike shop. He ordered it from Hutch back in the day. I only took it out of the plastic so you all could get a gander at it.




If any of you Hutch guys are into it, PM me and maybe we can do a trade or something. The second to last pic looks like the cap is full of little specs or nicks. It is not. I'm pretty sure it's an unwanted feature of my crappy digital camera.

I have 1 NOS original ARAYA 7b hoop.

It is useless to me unless I find a mate!

Oh yeah I also have an AEROSPEED wedge around here someplace.Now I only need the arms,spindle,bb set and the other wedge.

seems my most useless rare bike part i have is a stem off my old huffy expert (looks like the early redline ones on rl20's). i just think its ugly, but it can be used with a rotor since it has a adjuster screw build in and it even has the potts mod (my huffy expert had a pro rotor 2 on it, that i still have as well).

RL's prototype Hammer shin pads.

I put them on the bay and my brother in law won them, and I got them back for Christmas...

So I guess I was meant to keep them.

HJAR! FE, great story.

I have a used set of the GT forkstanders that are in the motorcycle peg style where the ends would crush down, rendering the pegs useless.

All your useless stuff is prety funny but a friend of mine just brought me an 83 Schwinn Predator talk about useless
The Catch
It appears that it has been sitting outside in the Wisconsin weather for atleast 15 yrs and everything is rusted together But, he rushed right over to give it to me (LOL)

And for Rare how about the Prototype Bottom Bracket for a 3pc Torker crankset

I HAD a set of NOS in the bag UNI Tailpipes...but I ripped them open and stuck them on my StreetBeat build.

I also have a couple of YO! Rock and Roll seats (NOS of course) but I have a Predator to put one on so it's not useless to me.

I also have a pair of NOS, in the bag DC Tech 7's in white...here's a picture

Hmm, useless and rare? How about a red glitter banana seat for a Rollfast Skoot. A bike I have only seen a picture of once. Mid to late sixties musclebike.,,,,OS

It won't even bolt to a standard sissybar, lol.

I have a Hutch magnesium one-piece crank locking lock-nut (like a headset lock with an allen key, but for your BB).
