Agreed. Right now the money is in retro MTB. and the money is big, it's similar to what the vintage road market went through about 10 years. problem is I am swept up in it and got in pretty high. I'm building a 1993 rocky mountain the edge with amp rear suspension.

I have collected most of the parts and got some pretty cheep, but I paid over $100 for dia-compe cantilevers (cheap compared to grafton, machine tech, paul, etc..) and I got a pair of Avid SD ultimate red ano lever for $75 CND on C/L if they were purple or blue I could get $150 USD for them in a heartbeat. Original Race face turbine IB cranks are worth good money as is any pre buy out syncros, especially stems with noodles which sell for over $100 US easy...

And Grafton, paul, precision billet, machine tech, top end avid, top control tech, ringle, middleburn, SRP, race face, xtr M900, xt 735 (7 speed stuff), critical racing, some x-lite stuff.. caramba, bullseye, topline, cook bros. (and QBP and cook's) the list goes one.. stuff from 1980s to early 1990s is fetching a mint right now.
