Repops/NRPs- the good the bad and the ugly!

(1/7) > >>

factory pilot:
Okay so love 'em (Dan) or loathe 'em (Steve69) "Repop Muck" or the New Reproduction Part is here to stay.

The longer I've been in the scene personally the less I've come to like them on my own builds but that's just because I'm an anal so and so and want the proper parts I couldn't have bitd.

They are however a necessary evil for many of us in an increasingly shrinking marketplace where prices have gone absolutely mental ( £300+ for shotgun seats and £800+ for a TA )

Here are 3 re-issues that I thought were  good because of the following criteria..

They were good copies of the originals.
They were made with good materials.
They were all reasonably priced.

The Porkchop Viscount Dominator


The Haro Series 1B Plate


The A'me Unitron


Right then Radsters..Show no mercy here ...

Which NRPs do you rate and which ones do you hate?

deeman:
Like....Kenda K55 tyres...gives all the freestylers a chance to ride and still look old school


Hate....any of the repop Dia Compe stuff....Crapola quality and look compared to the originals

oldscool:
Re-pop mx1000`s are fooking terrible. :buck2:

NORTY40:
Two that i like are :

Profile cranks



2014 Haro Sport in Chrome

factory pilot:
Kenda K55's are ace ! ... Agreed a tyre that looks proper and rides well


Yeah the DC mx1000s are so so bad .. Totally with you ...They are cheap, look awful, are badly made with crap thin metal and they don't work at all


How could they get it so wrong ?
