Yes they did Andy, there was discussions all over the place. Maybe not so much on here but Museum, Vintage, Society were awash with threads.
Plus to be honest there is a difference between a run of the mill Haro or GHP and one of the rarest frames in this hobby.
Jono can and should do whatever he wants with his frame, however because of what it is you will always get people that hate that frame.

i agree with what you are saying about run of the mill v the rarity of the the STR-! but Jono is not trying to pass it off as OG so i dont see a problem with using old parts to keep with the spirit of the frame, but as others have said, its his do with as he pleases and what ever he does i'm sure it will look sweet :daumenhoch:

I never said he was trying to pass it off as OG, however somebody has done that with the other one made. Ali is a top bloke and wouldn't do that, I bet however if this one gets sold on in the future, it will sold somewhere down the line as an OG frame (not by Ali).
And I have all the way said he should do what he wants, I was discussing how you would build such a frame because 1970s parts on a 2014 frame seems weird, no matter what that frame spirit is.
I also thought the same thing when I saw people putting old parts on the retro looptail quadangle frames, it looked strange knowing you had this ultra modern frame made with modern materials and with better understanding of metals and welding and then bang on shit parts from 35 years ago.
