I tend to seek out, and many times overpay, for NOS parts. But then I usually install them as fast as I can. I want to be the first to use, and appreciate the look, and function, of a new old stock part. Recently I replaced the chewed up outer chainring on my Trek 670, with one I found on eBay. A pristine nos 49t chainring still in the Campagnolo paper sleeve.
Installed it the same day, and went for a ride, satisfied with the new chainring, chucked the old one into the recycling bin, along with the paper sleeve.
This is CV, why not ride the best version of your old bike now, we are not getting any younger, and this stuff won’t necessarily be appreciated by those that follow.
