Repo Parts
I have said this on a few threads before if I bought a 2014 Skyway I would put all genuine repop parts on, e.g repo Kashimax, repo Dia Compe 890 etc. Would'nt even want to put Fake parts on. If it was a 1984 Skyway I would want to put Old School parts on.
Fake Parts
There are a few parts I steer clear of like Hutch as I can't seem to work out the difference between Old and New (some thread here have helped).
A couple of months back one of transactions I had on ebay was for Repo Victor VP300 that were being Sold as Old Stock..... this is what I don't like.
Also a few years ago there were a lot of Kuwahara Laser Post knocking about which were fake. These were quite easy to spot as they had CR-MO embossed just before Kuwahara Laser Post.
New Thread Sticky
What would be good if a member had a Genuine part and the Fake part side by side listing the differences and then posted on a sticky thread to help us all out. Trouble is is having both Old and Fake part to do this.

as long as someone is willing to get their cash out, there will be willing providers of whatever you want. The fake market has been there from day dot, sanderspeeds being a good example, then the deep h with no recess for the top washer and it snowballed from there. The 24" skyway killed it a bit for me. It was unobtanium, then somebody dumped a skip load of unobtanium substitute on the market and it was a step to far.
when this
became this
i was saddened for collectors of real old school gems.
