Mirage "New" Old School BMX Parts
oldschoolace:
Have to say, was looking to seeing what Alan would come up with but what I saw at MK looked a bit like generic parts with a mirage badge on. I guess that's the current bmx climate for you? :-\
factory pilot:
Those stems have been taking a pounding on FB ....
I think because they look like those £5 copy Suntours with Mirage etched on them..
I'm a big fan of Mr Woods personally (being Wigan based ) and those bars and cranks look great ..
Would have to see/ use the stems to make a judgement whether they were more Landar or more Suntour in nature?
I have to say that's the the old school scene is a more thriving one than the new school at the moment and hence companies/businesses are cashing in ( Haro, GT, Mirage etc )
Popularity isn't always a good thing ? ::)

I was thinking of getting one of the stems but undecided! :-\ for new school build.

Those stems are a case in point. That white line either side of the center strip gives them away as cheapo copies. These were going on the bay a while back for less then a fiver.
I think a tuf neck style stem would have been much more appropriate for the redline / bullseye quality look I imagine he is tryin to achieve

I've not seen the stems, so couldn't possibly comment, but here's some of their other items I've taken from their Instagram page.
