Dia compe tech 3 lever OG v Repop info

(1/2) > >>

MrD:
Hi all,

I have read many sites stating the differnces between repop and OG levers , here's my Tech 3's worth with some pics to clarify.

Ive read that the MX stamping is much clearer/cleaner on the OG's - It is

Repops dont have any date code on bar clamp - OG's do

my final finding is that the lines under the Dia Compe logo are shorter on the OG's - see pics

Also the lever stop is a different shape - not as clean and angled as the OG -  see pics

Cheers

MrD

Thanks for posting this up, especially with pics. This question comes up quite a bit, and is useful for people getting back into BMX after many years, or for the first time. Either the original moulds must have been lost, and/or they just don't make them the same way anymore to keep costs down.

Good info I always see the lettering is different and the mx stamp is less defined on the repops

There's also a slight colour difference  :teef:

MrD:
Yes Griff - a slight colour difference  :wtf:, one was not amused when the repop turned up, it will end up for sale eventually.

I presume it's another way of telling the difference

Cheers

MrD
