This is not a money making hobby,
 I've paid well over the odds to get some rare parts just because I really wanted them,  sometimes your lucky to be in the right place at the right time to get what you class yourself as a bargain.

...and I thought BMX was about having fun on bikes  :-\

dancetothedrummersbeat:
I don't have a problem with repop parts or even the likes of Johnny Chopper making copies/ 'tribute' bikes, as long as they are indentifiable as such. I have repop Hutch cranks, Profile 'anniversary' cranks, Hutch beartraps and Skyway bars on my bikes, and these kinds parts have enabled me and others to build their dream bikes. It's when people try to pass them off as originals - that's when I have an issue with it. Not good  "nono"

griff:
nice to see everyone getting on ::)

just think - MK was only a month ago

Exactly. Buy the stuff you want. If its rare and "worth a lot" then someone will copy or reproduce it. Its the way of the world. You will always get less money out of bmx than you put in, but you get fun, excitement, happiness, exhilaration, laughter, satisfaction, friendship, and whatever else out of it. Ride on and stop bleating.
