NOS - New Old Stock...aka the things most bike shops can't sell. Its mostly undamaged stuff with perhaps a little shop wear on it. Hell I've seen things listed NOS that are only a year out of date, still in original packaging, and never been taken out of it.

So are people fans of the Pake or not? I mean if they hold up well then I'd go for them because they are pretty cheap.

PS. I got my Christophe clips and straps (white leather) for $7 on ebay...I scored.
