I agree with you guys on the ample surplus amounts , I mean just look at how much Shiners have been releasing to Skatepool , Alans,etc,etc  for the last 10 years

As for setting up moulds though ,, the machinery and jigs could have been bought from the factories though .
Just look at all the repop Hutch pedals etc and repop Kashimax Aeros all from the original machinery  :)


This question about stuff from the east has been discussed before , just thought we could add some conspiracy this time round  :D

Thing is that Kashimax have never stopped making the Aero saddle as it's been a firm favourite of the track racing crowd in Japan (Keiron racing) since the 80's.  I think JDB had to have new tooling made for the Hutch pedals but could be wrong.
