No I actually wasn't joking or telling Jono to pass it off as something else.  I just honestly think that if you are going the whole Stu Thomsen STR-1 rep route then beat the paint up a bit rather than glossy and brand new.

Jono:
Ah right think u gotta be good to pull the wool over people's eyes on here I'm not a repop man personally, not that I have a problem with those that use em so it's not been an easy decision for me but I'm looking forward to building n riding this one cheers

Era correct?  So modern parts as it is a brand new frame.

Or 70s parts?  Which isn't era correct.

It is a toughie.

Jono will no doubt do a sterling job on it, and it really is a nice piece of kit.


I was just thinking about how I would build it personally and I wouldn't know what to do with it.

Era correct as in appropriate for it's age (so no Shot Gun II, Pro Neck 2 or MX 901's). But also using repop parts where needed/wanted such as Profile Anniversary cranks - repop, but would be era correct for the build if you catch my drift...
