What part would you bring back?
Bob_Acid:
Agree with Factory Pilot on the coloured DX
24" tires for the cruiser would be nice.

Am I missing something ???
Isn't finding/sourcing parts a major part of this hobby?
If you can just go out and buy everything new (repop/repro), what's the point, it's false nostalgia.
To me, it's like going into the supermarket for a bunch of grapes....
Yes you come out with grapes but they're not the big sweet juicy golden Italia grapes we had as kids. They taste of fook all and they've got no pips!!! (In short, they're fake and pointless)

Steve, i'm with you all the way. I was asked by someone in the business about a very limited run of an old/retro part so i thought i'd ask the masses

Seconded. :daumenhoch:
Affordable Comp IIs are the biggest void in my a Facebook group. :'(

Steve, I know what you're saying, but without repop parts, I wouldn't be able to finish my builds.
I don't get paid a massive wage so I have to go with whatever my budget will allow. I simply can't justify spending £150 on a Kashi Aero, when I can get essentially the same seat from Alan's for a 3rd of that price.
The purists may not like my bikes, or how I build them, that's fine with me. For me, one of the most fundamental factors with this hobby is how I build my bike, and how it makes ME feel when I take them out, ride them and meet up with my pals. :daumenhoch:p
