More repo crap that is totally crapping all over Old School BMX Scene.
You don't need to search out the old school parts anymore :-\
Just click on Porkchop or one of the many new old school parts bmx sites and hey presto you can get what you need.
Where's the fun in that "nono"
Not to mention the price crash of all the original parts that this repo crap causes.
No wonder the big boys got out a few years ago :teef:
griff:
Which prices have crashed then?
Can't say I've noticed stuff getting massively cheaper, maybe I'll be able to get another bike done then ;)

Not meaning to have a go BUT...
Reproduction parts have saved many a restoration and made the impossible, possible in many different areas and many different products not just BMX i.e. fridges, freezers, guitars, cars, motorbikes, stereos, the list is almost endless
You still need to search out parts but if you want to ride/use a vintage/old school/mid school bike now you can without ruining hundreds of pounds worth of tyres, grips, pedals, seats...
Yes, there are sites that sell new reproduction parts at competitive prices; halle-fcuking-lujah!
Fun? There is still plenty of fun searching for old/era correct parts not that I would call it fun having spent 10 years looking for a seat and an ACE Racing frame...
There has been no price crash; total fallacy and an urban myth spread by those who are in it for the money not the "fun" as described
The big boys getting out; some have some are still in it just in the background, some had their circumstances change (marriage, children, jobs, divorce, etc) and yep, some sold out for big money for all of the aforementioned reasons and big money because people wanted to buy straight in and miss out on the "fun".

One thing that isn't fun is spending £130 on fooking grips :LolLolLolLol:
