My view is let them sort it out amongst themselves.

Whilst I agree with the first part as PC has certainly rubbed a hell of a lot of people up the wrong way.

However I reckon it's in our own best interest to help him out.

Based on when Alan doesn't have the stock you can get it from PC, other US retailers either won't ship to you like BMXGURU, charge exorbitant shipping or people buy direct from AME and then wack them on the bay for you to pay through the nose.

I think Justin and PC are another invaluable spoke to our hobby called old school BMX. I've bought many bits and bobs and repop parts over the years .... ( Think both types of viscount seats and Kenda freestyle tyres especially in my case ) and always had an A1 service.
It seems illogical for A'me to avoid them?
I'll send an email off now!  :daumenhoch:

I emailed AME saying I was disappointed that Porkchop do not stock the Unitron, if I get a response I'll post it up.

I do try and use local specialists but have ordered the odd pair of Grips along with other small parts from Porkchop.


Good Luck Porkchop  :)

Politely but seriously sent with a heart felt and logical plea for reason and sense to prevail.  :daumenhoch:
Good luck Justin and good luck PCBMX! 
Thanks for always keeping it  :radbmxsmilie:

I just got this reply... From A'me

We now  have an exclusive distributor in the UK for all A'ME Grips
including the Unitrons.

If you would like we'd be happy to supply you with their contact information.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I have just heard the sad news from Justin at Porkchop BMX that he will not
be able to stock the latest re-issue of A'me Unitron grips. I am actually
quite shocked to hear this as his website has long been the number one stop
for us enthusiasts who have been restoring and bringing back to life old
school bmx bikes for several years now. Justin and his shop have always been
invaluable to many of us here in the UK who are part of an ever expanding
and thriving scene. He has always stocked A'me grips and has always been my
first port of call when I have required to purchase some for my latest build
or to replace worn out ones on bikes that I ride. Obviously I was very
excited to hear about the re-release of the Unitrons and naturally assumed
Porkchop would be my stockist of choice due to my history with the shop and
his competitive pricing and willingness to ship to the UK.
I hope that you can see sense and listen to the many loyal Porkchop customers
who are hopefully getting in touch with you over this issue.

Kind regards, Antony Frascina,
A'me and Porkchop fan and supporter.
Liverpool, England, UK
