Been a while since a good Happy Friday thread. Best thing you bought on FoA or from someone on here. Mine would be a $5 D-lock I bought off Andy/Fameandspear 4 years ago that I use almost every day. ---

Mine would have to be (there has been a few) a front wheel of heavymetal because that led to me swapping said front wheel to droz for a 4 pack of crankshaft bent spoke beer which got me smashed as one beer these days gets me tippsy. ---

Probably my Voodoo frame I bought off larfinboy in 2013. It’s been a MTB, tourer, kid hauler, grocery shopper, now bearded commuter. I ride it pretty much every day. This is what it looked like when I first built it up: ![](http://cyclebucket.com/images/nakisimk1.jpg) Still got the same bars, shifters, front derailleur - everything else has changed. I also like these pink Deep V rims I recently bought off dafrog (not to mention hubs and spokes and BB also off dafrog, and then the frame off a\_davis, bars off droz, cranks off ryan, and the cog, lockring and grips off cam, oh and mikeD’s tension meter helped out too): ![](http://cyclebucket.com/images/img2618.jpg) ---

the swag i got from Rhino for $50 that i’ve taken on many adventures in the hilux, the poor neglected SONIC BOOOOOOM i got from trigger, the 2 sets of phils laced to a set of mavic rims and velocity rims, 2 pairs of cheap sidis, the velo orange rack for $50 that erle bought but then politely handballed my way thanks to blakey, the bianchi tourer i bought that meant i got to meet mike d, the list goes on… but, yeah, as jono said, the best bit about buyin stuff on here is putting faces to names & getting to know ppl etc. ---

Trusty set of 105 shifters + sram force crankset with BB and a bunch of rings from Harry Lemntymz. This enabled my first attempt at a 1x10 setup which worked super well. [Next page](https://fixed.org.au/t/best-thing-youve-bought-on-foa/70357.md?page=2)
