On the top of the can it seems to say "urine + ginseng + L-ca..." can't make out the rest. Some bits of glare. Hard to read clearly. So, how's it... uhm... you know. Ah, never mind. I just noticed in the photo that you haven't... uhm... it yet. Well, yeah. Is it... uhm... carbonated?

I can see it now....get some underframe neon, a wide fender kit, put some battery powered speakers in your backpack, and mount some hydraulics in your front fork.
Oh, and we cannot forget the 40ft spoiler that resembles a small version of the arch of St.Louis.

I'd like to put a tank of NOS of my xtracycle with the bags off.
It would look like a drag racing bike.
Course the NOS wouldn't make me go any faster, i'd just run the NOS to an oxygen mask and laugh a lot when i'm racing!

Now what is NOS drink I have no idea, and probably wouldn't understand any of the ingredients if I was told.

Thanks. I now have this mental image of slvoid taking hits off a NOS bottle and laughing insanely like the dentist in "Little Shop of Horrors". As if new yorkers weren't insane enough already

i don't see new old stock ANYWHERE in this thread.
now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go back to searching ebay, obsessively adding NOS to every search...

Taurine... not urine... *shudder* of course that could be an actual ingredient and we won't know..
It's carbonated, supposed to be like red bull cept with more crap in it and 3x larger. I bet I can pull of an armstrong-esque like 33mph TT if I downed 2 of these..

In bike shop lingo NOS stands for *new old stock*-- that's a nice way of saying all the old crap that's sitting around unsold for years.
Beware of the NOS tag when buying parts. Anything tagged with the NOS label on EBAY is likely way overpriced. There is a brand of bike part wheeler dealer who buys junk for pennies slaps on the NOS label and sells for $$.
It's kinda like the vintage clothes racket........

No. I don't play by your rules, I synthesize what I what, who I want, when I want.
