MIRAGE 401'S....ANYONE TEMPTED??

<< < (2/3) > >>

factory pilot:
I think they look good (better than the twin pinches IMO) .... I'd have to say I'd only get a set if funds became an issue .... Great for a retro project though.  8)

rooski:
No for me, not as good as twin pinch for riding, not show bike material, so why?

Twin pinch Redlines are basically an old school crank, they look like an old school crank ,they haven't changed much over the years ,why ride around using a crank that's not as good for riding?

Avro:
The Redlines are clearly new production, like Dia Compe reproduction if you want an extreme. You could never pass off a repop Dia Compe caliper as an original, it is designeed to be that way despite being og manufacturer title.

The Mirage cranks are pure copy, nothing else. Yes, I have no doubt that they look fabulous. Change the decals and you could possibly fool yourself after a few. I see threads that criticise Pork Chop for commissioning repop copy parts on many forums, Alan's are just in the same market and following the same business model. I mean no criticism of Alan's or Pork Chop, it is business reality I am sure. I just wanted to highlight the difference between a 'repair' and an 'honest repair'.

Pah, buy what you want and build what you want! It is your ride. I just responded to a popcorn comment is all.

Taipan:
Just how much stuff is he reproducing? there's quite a lot already  ???  what else is planned?

stuntmaster:
it says don`t tighten up the spindle pinch bolt up too much , problem is if you ride heavy then they wont last five minutes
