I'm done with old school.

I've been giving it some thought today and i've decided i'm about done with old school. I'm not giving up completely....... Not much hope with 3 mid school and a pit bike build on the go, but i've had my fill of faked, fooked and general shite tat often being pedelled as mint NOS.
I like engineering and resto work so have decided to stick to what i enjoy and spend more time resurrecting wrecks and the odd mid school build rather than building 80s show bikes.
I've been lucky enough to have built every bike i ever wanted back when i couldn't afford them and a few more besides all with the help of the RAD members, but every time i get screwed over i lose a bit of the love. I''m going stick to scrubbing tyres in the ensuite ;)

I'm feeling a bit like that myself Bert :-\
I have knowingly used a couple of re-pop items on builds but, with the mass of reproduction parts out there and, as you rightly say, people selling hard to find parts and being told they are genuine NOS items, only to find they are not, makes it too hard for me to build mint bikes. That and the ever soaring costs of these parts.
I am enjoying putting together a few beaters at the moment with genuine used old school parts and actually riding them to be honest :daumenhoch:
Bfellows:
Funnily enough i don't have a problem with repop bits, just with the blatent fakery, or misrepresentation of parts. At least with midschool you generally know what you're getting as the cost and weight of materials to fake bits would be enough to put people off ;D
ED209:
left oldschool for midschool some time ago ... midschool is much more fun :daumenhoch:

I just class everything as not NOS, its much easier that way.
