Forgive me if there is something like this. Retrobike has whole dub-forums for the discussion of "Kit".

I thought it would be nice to have a thread where C&V'ers could share a recent find which they had been looking for, for some time, that makes them feel good. Sometimes we are willing to pay that little bit more for a part we have been looking for. Scarcity plays into price big time.

So come on, what is your latest component score that was an exceedingly good deal or that you had been looking for, for some time.

I'll go first.
