This is the age of .... Repop!!!

(1/3) > >>

Ok so the Northern Monkeys were in Alan’s (Wigan) and the lovely Tom told me about the huge list of repop stuff that was arriving in 2018 ( many Alan exclusives) ..
Without going into details ( for fear of being shot ) here are just a few brands dropping new repop stuff in the next 12 months at Uncle Alan’s ...

Kashimax, A’me, GT, SE, Skyway...

As parts become impossible to find now and costs spiral there seems to be a new generation of old schoolers more than happy to have the look without the cost or authenticity...
Their market seems to be on the up..
The rise of 24s, 26s also continues ..
When a Burner with repop parts flies out of the shop for £600 on a regular basis what do we think about where Old School Bmx is at in 2018?

Quadog:
I would love to do all my bikes OG but repop seems to be only way to go unless you want to wait a lifetime to finish a bike or have endless cash flow just finished a 87 Master using some repop parts group 1 stem crank and fs bars all from Alan’s they seem decent quality and don’t look to bad but that’s my opinion others might disagree although the Dia compe mx brake callipers are one repop I wouldn’t touch they just don’t look right.

I though this was an old thread you'd bumped Ant when I read this part. Hasn't he been knocking out repop parts from these brands for 5 years or more?

Omg Dan there is sooo much more stuff coming ... new stuff GT Hubs (can’t say too much) ... it’s on an even bigger scale this year .. more than ever hence the new thread ...
It just hit me that for many new to the scene “the feel and and look” is what it’s all about  .. originality seems a forgotten thing in this world of new old schoolers

Not having a pop at repop .. for me it has its place but just observing another big wave which suggests a big market is out there :daumenhoch:

My first 'old school bmx' I had a few years back came with repop dc mx1000 callers, these should have been called repoop as they were shit. You could see the the arms bending when applying the brake
